I have added another star to the constellation of urdushahkar.

bana hai naazim-e gulshan koi sayyaad ab shaa’ed
parinde ho rahe haiN sab faraar aahista aahista

ananth iyer faani is young and thoughtful shaa’er, worth a careful read because of the modern nuances he brings into his verse.
paTak kar baar-haa yaadoN kii lahr aahista aahista
zamiiN ko nam kiye jaataa hai bahr aahista aahista

The refrain aahista aahista became popular after vali dakkhani’s (1667-1707) visit to dehli. In fact, his visit and reading of Ghazal in dehli is credited with many younger poets of the time transitioning from faarsi to urdu.

manohar lal bahaar (1912-????) ….
yeh sarmaaya hai mushtar’ka hamaari qaum ka yaaro
na miTne paa’e ye urdu zabaaN aahista aahista

ahmad nadiim qaasimi paying tribute to Ghalib titled ‘nazr-e Ghalib’, written in Ghalib’s zamiin but not mentioning him in the body of the Ghazal …

I have added Ghulaam abbaas mohsin naqvi to the constellation of poets on urdushahkar. The two posts today are both of newly added poets … mohsin naqvi and ahmad nadiim qaasimi.

[Urdushahkar @urdushahkar]

Both express defiance in their resistance to injustice, even in the face of death.
mohsin zad-e aa’daa se agar mar bhi gaya maiN

I have added ahmad nadiim qaasimi to the constellation of poets on urdushahkar. I begin with a very short qita.
