Dear Group Member,

 

Salaam,

 

If any body has more information or any clips of Mir Anees, please let me know.

 

 

 

Mir Anis' (1802-1874)

Mir Babbar Ali Anees was a renowned Urdu Poet

He was born in Faizabad in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh in 1803 and died in 1874.

 

Anis had started writing poetry quite early in his life right at Faizabad, though he perfected his art in Lucknow under the supervision of Imam Bakhsh Nasikh. In keeping with the popular trend, he first tried his hand at the ghazal, but failing to make much headway in this sphere, he changed over, under the advice of his father, to the writing of  Marsias , in which domain he soon established a high reputation, equaled (sometimes) by his poetic compare, Salamat Ali Dabir. Anees broadened the scope of this genre by including in its body, in addition to the customary lamentation and mourning, realistic scenes of the battlefield, graphic delineations of the hero's face and figure, lively portrayals of the emotional states of the combatants, accurate descriptions of the landscape, and occasional interludes of moral edification. Anis was a master of simple, natural utterance, with a superb command on the language, which was always adequate to express a large variety of moods, scenes, characters and situations. He is specially notable for presenting the same scene or situation, over and over again, in different words or phrases, without letting it appear monotonous. Besides being a master of the marsia, Anis was also a specialist of the rubai, the shortest complete poem in Urdu, containing only four lines.

DEAR DR. ABIDI,
 
I HAVE YOUR WONDERFUL BOOK  "YAAD-GAAR-E-ANEES" WHICH YOU HAD , VERY KINDLY, GIVEN TO ME IN A MUSHA-ERA OF BAZM-E-FANOOS IN HAMILTON, A COUPLE OF YEARS BACK.
 
WHILE THANKING YOU THROUGH A LETTER FOR THE GIFT OF YOUR BOOKS, I HAD REQUESTED YOU TO GUIDE ME IF A "SHAIR"  WAS OF MEER ANEES  AND IN WHICH OF HIS "MERSIYAS"      IT WAS LATE DR.SAJJAD BAQAR RIZVI , WHO WAS PROFESSOR (URDU TANQEED) IN THE LAHORE ORIENTAL COLLEGE AND OF ENGLISH LITERATURE IN GOVT. COLLEGE LAHORE, WHO HAD NARRATED THESE LINES ATTRIBUTING THEM TO MEER ANEES.  DESPITE MY BEST EFFORTS, I COULD NOT FIND THEM IN YOUR BOOK . 
 
WOULD YOU , BEING AN AUTHORITY ON ANEES, KINDLY GUIDE ME WHERE TO FIND THESE TWO "MISS-RAY" IN ANEES' KALAM. THEY ARE IN PRAISE OF IMAM HUSSAIN'S SWORD:-
 
" JA-NAY MAIN RASOO-LOON KEE DUWA,  AA-NAY  MAIN TASEER;
