Mansoor Ahmad Shauq Azeemaabaadi

Opis

This book is a collection of Ghazals written by Prof. Mansoor Ahmad Shauq Azeemaabaadi from 1960s until date. He has been rated highly among the experts for his quintessential amalgamation of pragmatic and philosophical views without compromising the classical nature of Ghazal. His poetry compositions as recorded in this book start with Hamd (poem written in the praise of Allah), Naat (poem written in the praise of prophet Muhammad (PBUH)), and a poem about Karbala (site famous for the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (PBUH)). The rest of the book is collection of Ghazals spread across more than three hundred pages. These Ghazals portray the aesthetics of language, elegance of style, charisma of diction - all woven intricately and ardently into the highly formalized structure that Urdu Ghazals stand for. The traditional themes of unattainable love, divinity, and mysticism follow throughout Prof. Shauq's work with a gradual and mellowed merger of the issues facing the present generation. The beauty of these compositions arises from the fact that the theme is never issue centric and usually depicts the emotional quotient lying beneath the issues. This contributes to the aesthetics, in addition to assigning persistence to these Ghazals. These soulful bounties of bright fragrant emotions are a precious gift to our age.
