Josh Malihabadi essentially a poet of Nazm had an excellent command over language. He is rich in vocabulary and passionate. Born in Malihabad near Lucknow in a Pathan family, Shabbir Hasan Khan Josh, was the grandson of Urdu poet Faqir M Khan Goya. For his strong anti-imperialistic views and his contribution to freedom struggle, he was awarded Padma Vibhushan. But seeing the plight of Urdu, he migrated to Pakistan. Though he regretted the decision. His Yaadon-ki-Barat is a unique biography-novel.

Naddi ka morre
Naddi ka morre
Chasma-e-sheereen ka zer-o-bum
Chaadar shab-e-nujoom ki
Shabnam ka rakht-e-num
Moti ki aab gul ki mahek maah-e-nau ka khum
In sub ke imtizaaj sey paida hui hai tu
Aur kitney haseen ufakk sey hawaida hui hai tu
Lahja maleeh hai ke namak khaar hoon tera
Aur seyhat zubaan mein hai key beemaar hoon tera
Azaad-e-shair hoon key geraftaar hoon tera
Hoshiyar is liyay hoon key teray karam sey shair-o-sukhan ka imam hoon
Aur shaahon pey khand-a-zun hoon key tera ghulaam hoon

Thanks.. Faisal

zubaan pe jo qudrat unko haasil thi

pata chale aaj ki nasl ko keh asl shaaeri kya hae aur voh kaese kaese laghv sho’ra ko parh rahe haen

kisi k paas ho to baraahe mihrbaani in saf’haat ki zeenat banva dein
shukriya!

josh malihabadi allama iqbal ke bad urdu ke sabse bade shayer hai. Josh sahab ke jaisa lafzo ka jadgar urdu shayeri me ajtak na paida huwa . Kuch nasl parasto ne tassub me josh ko framosh karna chaha par josh wo aftab hain jiski kirno ko koi kala badal rok nahi sakta. Josh zindabad
one of the finest originals in urdu poetry. not being very adept at urdu and also not able to fully understand the nazm in its entirety i would really appreciate if you could send me its full translation. thanks.
josh saheb ,ab nahin hoga koyee dosra,tareef kiya kee jaye, kabhee suraj ko chiraq dekhaya ja sakta hay.
