   Ghazals are written in couplets called sher, each line of a sher being called a misra. A nazm (poem) often contains several shers, but each sher can be a self contained unit having no thematic connection with other shers in the nazm (though there can also be a nazm having shers with a common theme). Where the shers are self contained units, it is often a marvel of condensation. Within two lines, great ideas or emotions are expressed in a powerful way. All forms of Urdu poetry are not ghazal. To be a ghazal 5 strict rules have to be followed. These are radeef, kafiya, matla, maqta, and beher. If these are not in the poem it is not a ghazal. غزلیں شعر کہلانے والے دوہے میں لکھی جاتی ہیں، شعر کی ہر سطر کو مصرا کہا جاتا ہے۔ ایک نظم (نظم) میں اکثر کئی شعر ہوتے ہیں، لیکن ہر شعر ایک خود ساختہ اکائی ہو سکتا ہے جس کا نظم میں دوسرے شعروں کے ساتھ کوئی موضوعی تعلق نہ ہو (حالانکہ ایک نظم بھی ہو سکتی ہے جس میں ایک مشترکہ تھیم ہو)۔ جہاں اشعار خود ساختہ اکائیاں ہیں، یہ شاعر کا کمال ہوتا ہے...

Urdu poetry has several forms (borrowed from Persian poetry) e.g.  ghazal, qasida, marsiya, rubai, etc.  The most popular of these is the ghazal, and I shall only discuss that here. Ghazal means, conversation with women, and originally it was used for erotic themes. Later, however, the erotic meaning became only the outer, superficial meaning, while the deeper, inner meaning became the real meaning which the poet wanted to convey. For example the word ‘Ishq’ used by Urdu poets often does not mean love between a man and a woman. It is often used in the mystic Sufi sense of love for God, or it can mean a passion for an ideal for which a person is willing to make sacrifices. Thus,when the poet Faiz writes of love and longing for the beloved, he is really dealing with social and political issues, though in an indirect way.   اردو شاعری کی کئی شکلیں ہیں (فارسی شاعری سے مستعار) جیسے غزل، قصیدہ، مرثیہ، ربائی وغیرہ۔ ان میں سب سے زیادہ مقبول غزل ہے اور میں یہاں صرف اس پر بات کروں ...

Justice Katju explains Urdu Poetry  Urdu poets often write their verses not in a direct way but in a roundabout way, conveying their meaning indirectly by hints, allusions and indications. The result is that the same verse can have two or even multiple meanings. Sometimes it can even have a meaning which the poet never contemplated, but is invented by the reader using his creative imagination. The greatest Urdu poet Ghalib was of the view that the language of poetry should not be the same as the spoken language of the common man. Ghalib had a horror of the commonplace in expression, and this often makes his poetry obscure. His early poems were highly Persianized, and therefore often difficult to understand. His biographer Hali wrote that about one third of Ghalib’s verses can hardly be called Urdu, and even till today some of his verses are difficult to understand. اردو شاعری کیا ہے؟ جسٹس کاٹجو اردو شاعری کی وضاحت کرتے ہیں۔ اردو شاعر اکثر اپنے اشعار کو براہ راست نہیں بلکہ گول چکر م...

جسٹس کاٹجو اردو کیا ہے؟  اردو وہ زبان ہے جو ہندستانی (کھری بولی) کی بنیاد پر فارسی زبان کی کچھ خصوصیات اور الفاظ کی بالادستی سے بنائی گئی تھی۔ اس طرح اردو دو زبانوں فارسی اور ہندوستانی کے امتزاج سے تخلیق ہونے والی زبان ہے۔ یہی وجہ ہے کہ کسی زمانے میں اسے 'ریختہ' کہا جاتا تھا جس کا مطلب ہے "ہائبرڈ" یا "ملازم" اور اس کا مطلب یہ ہے کہ اس میں فارسی اور ہندوی/ہندی شامل ہے۔   Jobs   Poetry   Urdu Columns   Mobiles   Dictionary   Laptops   LED TV   Directory   Weather
