Sher

Sard taareek raaton mein
Siyaah saavan ki baarish mein
Dard jab muskuraatay hain
To aankhain khoob roti hain

i am not aware if apart from posting in 'comments' there is another way of communicating

questions, questions, questions

1. are 'inshallah khan insha' and 'ibne insha' 2 diff poets ... stupid question .. guess they are

2. which one of the two has written 'insha ji uttho abb kooch karo'

3. who has written 'ye kisnay kaha tum kooch karo, baatain na banao insha ji'

would appreciate answers

...... aalok

Since I'm not very technically advanced, comments are the only way ppl can communicate with me.

Answers answers answers...

1. Inshallah Khan Insha and Ibne Insha are two different ppl. Inshallah Khan Insha is much older. You may have heard of this sher from him:
Kamar baandhay chalnay ko yaa.n sab yaar bethay hain
Bohot aagay gaye baaqi jo hain taiyyar bethay hain

2. That one is one of the most famous poems by Ibne Insha.

3. That poem is written by one of Ibne Insha's fans after Ibne Insha passed away. I'm sorry I don't know the name of that poet.

Hope this helps. By the way there's no such thing as a stupid question when it concerns the acquisition of knowledge.

Inshallah Khan Insha

(I made a typing error in the sher in the previous comment).

thanks a lot

i was confused because urdupoetry.com credits 'inshaji utho abb kooch karo' to inshallah khan insha

yes had heard the ghazal of i-k-i you quoted from

uska khoobsoorat aur mashhoor sher:

na chaidh ai nighat-e-baad-e-bahaari, raah lagg apnee
tujhay athkhailiyaan soojhi hain, humm bezaar baithay hain

.... aalok

thanks @ raheem

i saw that mentioned elsewhere but was not sure

also, the following lines seem to indicate that the poet is qateel:

"nahi sirf Qateel ki baat yahan, kahin Sahir, kahin Aali hain

tum apnay puraanay yaaroN se, daaman na churaao insha ji"

but i was not sure
