no i hadnt read that one..it was great thanks..and it in turn reminded me of ``Lukman Ali`` by Soumitra Mohan..he was the icon of akavita movement in Hindi poetry..just as N.M.Rashid and Meerazi were of Azaad Nazm in Urdu..its a pity that our Elliot and Yeats quoting intelligentsia are quickly forgetting these great poets..

This was actually nice. Better than most poems at chowk. Karachi`s like that, specially
liked the begger parts.

#24 by rahul_capri :

Have You read Hassan Koozagar

Jaha.n Zad! Neechay gali mai.n teray Dar kay Agay!
Yeh mai.n SoKhta Sar hassan Koozagar hoo
Tujhey Subh Bazar mai.n
Borhay At-tar Yousuf ki Dukan per mai.n nay Dekha
To teri Nighaho.n mai.n Woh Tabnaki thi
Mai.n jin ki hasrat mai.n
No(9) Saal Dewana Phirta Raha hoo.

Jaha.n Zad No(9) Saal Dewana Phirta Raha hoo
Yeh Woh Daur tha jis mai.n
Mai.n
nay apney Ranjoor Koozo.n ki Taraf Palat kar na Dekha.

(Quite a lenghty poem....)

Nadia_Zehra -
``Your poem BEGGAR`S FACE - I and II create the same sensation as reading a Noon Meem Rashid`s piece.``
Any particular one ,may I ask?
I am guessing ``Aadmi se darte ho..``

Temporal:

Poignant Poetry.
I could only sum-up my Hallucinating Hysteria which I result by bounded media :

I am Taken away to streets and roads .
Faces Rushing through
As Blood through veins.
Each one ruptured.
Noise, Blast to a chaos...
Sudden Shock,
All Die Down..
The calmity is fearing.
Heart is what I only earing.
I don`t hear guns any more.
But fresh Blood soiling marks.


Your poem BEGGAR`S FACE - I and II create the same sensation as reading a Noon Meem Rashid`s piece.

Wish If you reproduce in Urdu ``Tareh``.

Regards

Hello T
Your observations are so correct, human; and your descriptions are so descriptive.
Doors.... it`s unfortunate and sad, but true. Humans are a strange species.

Best of luck
