This blogger is an Aashiq-e-Urdu, aseer-e-zulf-e-shaa’eri. He lives in a Central Indian city but his heart is in Lucknow, the heart of Urdu World and the mango groves of Kakori. He is a perfectionist as far Urdu is concerned and his friends get irritated by his constant ‘islaah’ on words and pronunciation.
He is a sleepaholic, news freak, amateur cricket historian, self-styled expert of demography, Ibn-e-Safi aficionado (boasts of a collection of 220 novels some of whom he has read over 20 times), dreams of living in the lost Urdu world that existed in the era of Atish, Nasikh, Insha and Mus’hafi in Northern India. Basically a daydreamer and dabbler/Jack of all trades, kind of a guy.
His favourites are Hafiz Shirazi, Nizam Rampuri, Faani, Josh, Majaz Lakhnawi, Moin Ahsan Jazbi, Akhtarul Iman, Irfan Siddiqui and many others. His favourite books include Qurratul Ain Haider’s Aag Ka Darya (now translated River of Fire by herself) & Dastan Amir Hamza apart from Indian comics of yore.
Outside blogosphere it is gham-e-rozgaar for him as well.

Dear Adnan, you are really doing a commendable job. How you manage to write Hindi also?
Good work my brother I am happy and satisfied seeing all this. May God bless you.
Shukria Rafey Bhai.
Dear Adnan, Thanks for this wonderful Blog keep it up.I thoroughly enjoyed your collection as well as your views.And I also feel that It should be a constant endeavor of an Urdu writer to be conscious about not mixing up Sanskrit words(in pure form apart from words that are already in use) in Urdu although it’s a part of Hindustani but soul of Urdu is Persian/Arabic.So Thanks once again & keep it up.
i love urdu poetry .any one who are intersted to comment on ALLAMA IQBAL;s poetry …..so i am most welcome ………..
Dear Adnan,
I am from Pakistan, I am looking for my father’s great friend, a great poet in Hyderabad-India, Mr. Rehman Jami. As my father is died last year, I want to rebuild relations and strengthen ties with my roots and revive my father’s friendships.
As I was going through net for hyderabd or Urdu poetry pages in India. I saw this site, I think U have done a wonderful work on Urdu poetry, I am proud that poetry which is loosing its status in Pakistan, is still so popular in “India”.
Adnan, or any one reading this comment who can be of any help, please help me finding Mr. Rehman Jami, an Urdu poet in Hyderabad( India).
Regards,
Muhammad Waasim

I really delighted to see your site and impressive “KAWISH” work to arrange to top Shairi and top Shaier. I need your help in this regard. My father name “Mirza Haider Abbas” was a poet in Pakistan Karachi and he published many books of his own Ghazal, Mizah Shairi, Mazhabi Shairi, Salam, Qaseday, Nohey also. I need your help and encouragement to put on this matter on web sites. Please tell me if I email you selected Ghazals and other stuff so can u show on you site and related links. Thanks, at least reply me.
Dear Ibrar, I want to ask the date of brither and death of Late Mr. Mirza Haider Abbas for encyclopedia of literature. Kindly reply
urdu if spoken makes its speaker sound a poet
Dear Adnan, I really appreciate your dedicated
efforts. But i am quite surprised that you have not mentioned Adbulla Kamal in your site. Needless to say that he was one of the best poet this generation ever had. He died last week due to cardiac arrest. So i think that we should pay a tribute to him.
Ji adnan saab, mujhe koi urdu script mein site nahin mil rahi, kya aap urdu poetry , faiz ahmed faiz aur mir taqi mir , ki email urdu mein bhej sakte hain
@Jyotsna Sahiba: Lot of sites like urdupoint.com urdulife.com urdumanzil.com and my blog at http://www.bestghazals.blogspot.com
@Humayun Sahab: Right. I too wanted to do a post. Unfortunately didn’t have his photo, got one yesterday. I didn’t know much about circumstances surrounding his death as well. Unfortunately such a great poet passed away but hardly any proper obituary was seen.
Assalaam ‘alaikum
You turn out to be a very interesting person. Your English writing skills are also pretty good. I am curious to know where you live.
I wanted to ask you of a favor and I would appreciate it if you could help me. Would you be able to tell me what Urdu newspapers are popular in the regions of Tonk, Bhopal, Delhi, Lucknow, Rae Bareilly and Aligarh?
Naveed Sahab,
Lucknow-Rae Bareilly have Roznama Sahara, Aag, Sahafat and Qaumi Khabrein among the major papers though there are 3-4 other dailies but they have hardly any circulation.
Delhi has a long list of papers now. Alighar is close so they get the same papers. Bhopal has Nadeem, Urdu Action and Haq-o-Insaf. In Rajasthan, Urdu speakers get Sahara’s national edition.
For other matters, we can talk on email. I have put my email address above and at different places on this blog.
Regards

Dear Urdu Lovers,
Survival of Urdu in India is a miracle ,Many people
Are pushing to eradicate the roots of this beautiful language and it is our duty to work for the promotion
Of this International language and save the heritage
For our future generations .Urdu is 100% Indian language it should be protected and promoted as
Our cultural heritage not as a language of miniority
But as a national language as Hindi and Urdu are same language with different scripts

urdu is resilient, useful, many terms have no precise accurate synonymns in other languages, the premchand read in hindi literature and russian language do not have the same feel read in urdu

its adnan saab’s blog, i am hijacking your question to him, urdu is a motivation for me to prove my own usefulness, i live where no one speaks urdu, in a remote punjabi village for past twenty years, in the public library urdu books published in lahore then part of punjab are available, the pages crack at the first touch, shamma, biswin sadi and many more magazines my father used to read in urdu one by one were shut down, now in north india it seems i am one of those weird readers who goes out of my way reading urdu pakiza anchal and huma i subscribed directly from delhi publishers,, not a single urdu book is found on any stalls , or rail platforms, once some four years ago geeta in good urdu script in spoken dialect i found was useless
adnan bro!i love urdu poetry and also write it myself. What should i do to promote my urdu language nd to b a gud poet?
adnan bro! I love urdu poetry and write it myself,i wanna promote my urdu language and wana b a gud poet what shud i do?
urdu is attractive , like fragrance to flowers, romance to poetry, spirituality to sufism, faith to worship, self discipline to practice, i could not stop from learning it , its so beautiful
Asalamoalekum,
Bahut intizaar ke baad bhi mohtram Shamsi Minai ka koi record aap ko nahi mila.Bahut afsoos ki baat hae.Unka ek qata hazire khidmat hae.
Chain mil jae mere dil ko eh kiya mushkil tha
Dil se eh baat to tone kabhi chahi hoti
Dosti ka eh haseen khwab dikhane wale
Duhmani tune saleeqe se nibhai hoti.
Prem Warbertoni ki mashhoor Nazm Tum ne likha hae mere khat mujhe wapas ker do. bahut shandaar hae aur nayab bhi ager aap ko chahie to hamare paas puri nazm hae.
