Urdu writer
Eminent Urdu writer Rafia Manzoorul Ameen passed away in Hyderabad Deccan recently. She was 78.
Her first novel ‘Saare jahaan ka dard’ that was set in Kashmir was published by Naseem Anhonvi’s publication from Lucknow. She wrote Yeh Raste and later Aalampanah which got her immense popularity as TV serial Farmaan was based on it.
She passed away when the muezzin gave the call for Zohr namaaz and after repeating the initial words ‘Allah-o-Akbar’, she breathed her last, reports Nadeem Siddiqui, in Inquilab Urdu daily (Mumbai).
She wrote over 200 stories in her literary career. She was a student of science and also wrote a book ‘Saainsi Zaaviye’ that was in the syllabus in Nagpur. Rafia Manzurul Amin was born in 1930 and died on June 30, 2008.

She is survived by her wonderful husband 2 beautiful daughters and 5 loving grandchildren. She served as a ray of sunlight in all their lives. An amazing sun has just set in the world…
“Every heartache and suffering that enters your body, pulls you closer to the Promised Home”…
I am sad that I never had a chance to meet you. Although I did not know you personally, so much has been said about you to know how special you were.
You had been through a lot through the years, but I know for sure that you left this world happy…happy knowing that you spent your life with some of the most special people in this world – your family.
You will always be in my prayers and I although I know that it may be next to impossible…I hope and pray that one day I do get to finally meet you…
She was my loving aunt. She also leaves behind grieving sisters, brother, nieces and nephews who will always remember her beautiful smile. She was a very special and talented person. A painting done by her hangs in my home and reminds me daily of her extraordinary life. She and her husband have set us all an example to follow of love, devotion and caring for each other. May Allah forgive her sins and grant her a place in paradise. Aameen
Rafia- The light has gone out of my life, after your death. There is darkness everywhere. You had been such a wonderful wife.
You had been my friend, philosopher & guide. My Allah grant you the highest place in Jannat -ul- Firdaus!
Your loving husband.

Sir Manzurul Amin
My father in law wants to reas the novel “Alampanah” and has been looking for it for quite some time. Can you please guide me?
Thnks.
Sir
Mai bahut waqt ke bad jaan pai hoon ki jinke likhe huye lafjo ko mai 18 saal se dhoondhti fir rahi hoon wo ab is duniya mai nahi hai. Yakinan ye ek bada nuksaan hai, sirf aapke liye nahi , hum jaise logo ke liye bhi jo us roshni se mukhatib na ho sake………
Maine unke lafjo ko seedhe T.V. screen per uterate dekha…. tab shayad 10 ya bmushkil 11 saal ki raho hoongi…….us waqt itni samajh nahi thi ki jaan sakoo ki jo lafz mujh per asar ker rahe hai wo kiske dil-o-dimaag me janame hai….. khuda ke shukr se bus ek naam yad rah gaya… ALAMPANAH…. or yakeen janiega is naam ko mai kabhi bhool nahi pai…..
Padhne wale or shayad aap bhi hairan hoge ki us waqt jab mohabbat kis chidiya ka naam hai ye tak nahi janti thi……ek sapna paal liya dil me ki wo koi Khas ho to AZAR NAWAB jaisa…… ye jadoo tha un lafjo ka……
Khair mai kisi layak nahi, bus ye hi dua hai meri ki ALLAH unhe apne najdeek panah ata farmaye.. Ameen
Aap sabse ye iltiza hai ki un jadui lafzo ko apne sirhana-nasheen kerne ki aarzoo hai meri takreeban 18 saalo se……
Aapki madad ke intezar me
Aparna Shri

Hi..my heart goes out to the family for such a great loss… Well i am from a non hindi speaking part of India..but “Alampanah” was so beautifully adapted in the DD series that from the last 15 years i ve been trying to get a hindi version. I have even contacted Husami book depot ..but they told me that the Urdu version is out of print.. Can somebody please let me know if it was translated ever to Hindi and if so..requesting you to kindly let me know how to get a copy of it.. I am going to Dandeli this winter… Alampanah has made such a strong image in my mind.. That am for sure visiting Dandeli…
Assalamualaikum……..sir, I am a reachscholar of Aligarh Muslim University. there is one copy of Alampanah available at Maulana Azad liberary but i need ‘sare jahan ka dard’. Can u please tell me where will i get that novel.

I am really lucky that i got to meet her because she is my dad’s aunt. She was really close to me. Chotam I miss u. I was not in India when she died. I was not really close to her sister-in-law, who is my dad’s mom, but when I heard that she is no more, I started to cry. She is my inspiration. She also had cancer for a really long time. She was so strong and brave that whenever we went to her house and asked her how r u, even if she’s really ill, she never said she is not well. She always said she was well. I miss her really much.
One more thing. Before she died her brother, who is my dad’s father, died and she never said cried like crazy but she cried because she knew that if Allah [SWT] knows that he is a good person then Allah will give him another place. Thaat’s how i feel about her.

Asslam,
yeh mere liyen waqayee hairat ki baat hai ki jis serial ko dekhne ki khwahish mujhe bachpan se thi use achank hi DD Urdu par dekha, ishtiyaq is haad tak badha k likhne wali ki khoj karne ki sochi, magar khabar achchi na payee. rajn hua yeh jaan kar ke ab wo es Daar-e-Faani se rehlat farma chuki hain.
Bachpan se apni Badi Behn aur deegar afrad se Farmaan ki Tareefen suni theen, aur ek din achanak use TV par dekha to un laga jaise dabi huee khwahish puri hogayee.
Ishq ka ek naya roop, yeh ehsaah k kisi k ghussee ki wajah uski Mohabbat bhi ho sakti hai hairan kar dene wali baat hai.
Aaj mai bhi Chah rahi thi k Alam Panah ko Padha jaye,
Agar mumkin ho to es Novel ko net par dal diya jaye to behtar hoga,.
