NAZAR MOHAMMED RASHID
(1910-1975)

_________________________________________________ _________________

Nazar Mohammed Rashid, popularly known as "Noon-Meem Rashid," was born in 1910 at Akalgarh in Gujranwala district (now in Pakistan). He received his early education at his home town, and his college education at Government College, Lahore. Both his father and his grandfather were men of literary taste, well-versed in Persian and Arabic. It was his father, Raja Fazal Ilahi Chishti who introduced him to the poetry of Hafiz, Saadi, Ghalib and Iqbal. While at Government College, Lahore, Rashid was selected to edit the Urdu section of the college magazine, Ravi. Later, he edited for sometime Tajwar Najeebabdi's journal, Shahkaar. He also served for sometime in the commissioner's office at Multan. At about this time he wrote his first poem in free-verse, "Jurrat-e-Parwaaz,"- which is included in included in his famous collection: Maawara. In 1939 Rashid joined All India Radio as a news-editor, and became, after sometime, the Director of Programmes. He also served in the army on a short service commission. After the partition of India he worked as a regional director in Pakistan Radio. An assignment in the U.N.O. gave him an opportunity to go abroad and stay at New York. He retired in 1973 and settled down in England. Rashid died in a London hospital on October 9, 1975.

Rashid gave evidence of his poetic talent right in his schooldays. Through he began in the conventional way, writing poems in rhymed verse, retaining radif, and qafia, he soon grew out of the rut to become an accomplished practitioner and a pioneer of free-verse in Urdu poetry. In this transformation, he was influenced by the contemporary poets of England and France. A poem in free-verse which dispenses with the accessories of radif and qafia, and accommodates long and short lines in the same stanza for giving a naturalistic expression to the undulations of the poet's thought and feeling, was something new for the readers used to the lilting melodies and logical thought-sequences of earlier poetry.Rashid's hanling of the new form had a startling effect on the mind of the readers who were thrilled as much by the newness of his technique, as by the daring thought and imagery of his poems. In the manner of Browning's dramatic monologues, Rashid introduced in many of his poems-as for instance, in "Sharabi", and "Be Karan Raat Ke Sannate Mein", the two poems included in this selection-a silent auditor with whom the poet enters into an honest and intimate converse, hitting at the social and moral shibboleths of the day. What stirs his imagination and indignation is the state of man in this age of exploitation-be it the exploitation of the East by the "civilised" West, of the poor by the affluent, of innocent faith by the cunning intellect.

His poems are available under four collections: Maawara, Iran Mein Ajnabi, Laa-Insaan, and Gumaan ka Mumkin.

ek tu hai baat bhi sunta nahi
ek hum haiN tera gum bhi seeh gayee
tuj sey jaag beti ki sub baatien kaahiN
kuch sukhan jo guftagoni they rah gaye
teri meri chahatooN key naam par
loog kahney ko bohat kuch kaah gaye

umer bahar ka dey gaya koii sitamgar soochna
isey mil kar soochna is sey bechar kar soochna
jis ko dekhooN is key chehrey par lakreeN sooch ki
jaisey hojaye kisi she'ah ka muqadar soochna
shak-e-gul hota to diwarooN sey tuj ko jhankta
ab to sub ko dekhna aur aankh bahar ker soochna
raat khawabooN maiN kati dundhly manzar dekhna
din ki tanhaai maiN in khawabooN ka aksar soochna
maiN pareenda hooN kisi din shakh sey uur jaa'oo ga
phir gayee guzri rootooN ka mouj-e-sarsar soochna

IS bahrey sehar maiN meri tarha ruswa hota
tuj pay bhi hadsa shouq jo guzra hota
tu ney har cha'and zubaN par tu bethayee pahrey
baat jab thi key meri sooch ko badla hota
rakh liya gum bhi tera bar-e-emanat ki tarha
kon is shehar key bazar maiN ruswa hota
jab bhi barsa hai tarey shehar ki janab barsa
koi badal tu sar-e-dashat bhi barsa hota
Aaina khaney maiN ek umer rahey me'haw khayal
apney andar sey nikal kare kabhi dekha hota
meri khashti ko bahla mouj dabo sakti thi
maiN ager khud na shareek-e-ka'af darya hota
tuj pa khul jati meri ruh ki tanhai bhi
meri aankhooN maiN kabhi jhank key dekha hota

rastooN par kab talk rangooN key paker dekhtey
robaro ho kare kabhi aapna bhi manzar dekhtey
tumney dekha hai faqat bahir sey dewarooN ka rang
dil par kiya guzri pas-e-dewaar aa kare dekhtey
Aankh ki shabnam tu barsey badlooN ki uoos hai
kitna gahra hai dil o jaaN ka samandar dekhtey
keench leeN khud hi lakreeN humney aapney haath par
kis ko fursat thi key haathooN ka muqadar dekhtey
dil key baahir tu whoi bayga'angi ka sehar hai
aapney aandar kay kharabey maiN utar kar dekhtey
chaar soo aapney hi logooN key hawa maiBN haath they
konsi janib aya kis ka pathar dekhtey haiN
zard patooN ki tarha kab sey hawa ki zad par haiN
ek zara aandhi jo tahamti tuj ko moor kare dekhtey

is tarha hooN saher key logooN maiN ab bikhra howa
ajnabi loogoN pey aapney aap ka dokha howa
aankh key naam sey mujey kuch ghum ka andaza howa
maiN tu samjha tha key yeh badal bhi hai barsa howa
wo tarey milney ki sa'at khun maiN rach baas gaye
aaj tak woh phool hai guldan maiN rakha howa
loog tanha'ai sey daar kare janglooN maiN aa gaye
sehar ki galiyooN maiN abh key aisa sunata howa
woh tarey aaney ka wada woh marey milney ka shouq
ek mudat sey hai dil taaq par rakha howa
waqat ney dundhla deye kaisey shanasa'ai key rang
jis tarha yeh khawa ho pahley kabhi dekha howa
