REST IN PEACE NIDA FAZILI
Nida Fazili ( Born 1938 at Delhi ) is no more..He was among a few surviving masters in Urdu poetry who retained the core charm and tradition in his kalaam. He was comfortable with Hindi as well. He wrote Dohas, Gazals, Nazms and Geet.Whatever he wrote , it touched you. It had charm, thought and tradition.
A couple of years back ,met him at Dehradun where he had come
to participate in ONGC sponsored Annual VIRAASAT event.He expressed a desire to
live in hills .
" living in hills changes your outlook to life. It gives
you the much needed slow down at some age. You are at least living some moments
of your choice.In metros ,you are just compromising with life round the
clock."
And he had already written..
" Jo jee chaahe vo mil jaaye kab aissa hotaa hai,
Har jeevan, jeevan jeene ka samjhotaa hotaa hai,
Ab tak Jo hotaa aaya hai vo Hi hona hai..
Jeevan kya hai? Chaltaa phirtaa eik khilona hai.
Do aankhon mein eik se hansnaa eik se Rona hai..
"Kya aap kashmiri hain?"
" Dekho Bhai , muqamal taur se nahin kah saktaa ki
Kashmir ke phalaan jagah se phalaan mohalle se hamaara koyee buzurg hijrat kiye
thhaa. Haan ghar mein iss baat ka zikr hotaa thhaa ki hamaara ta'aaluq Kashmir
se hai."
My friend Prof Liaqat Jafri interviewed him in Mumbai for his
magazine.He touched this question as well. He can add more.
Rest in peace Nida Fazili..your poetry touched hearts and
gave every person great moments of happiness..
Yes living remains a compromise..
Raat andheri bho'r sunehari yehi zamaana hai,
Har Tchaadar mein dukh ka taana sukh ka baa'na hai,
Aati saans ko paa'na jaati saans ko khonaa hai..
Jeevan kyaa hai Chaltaa phirtaa eik khilona hai..
On 8th Feb 2016, he died of a massive heart attack in his house at Mumbai.

REST IN PEACE ZUBAIR RIZVI ..
Zubair Rizvi ( Born 1935 at Amroha ) was finest among Modern Urdu Poets of the country. He served All India Radio for about 30 years . He also served at AIR Srinagar for some years where he worked as Assistant Station Director during the period when K K Nayyar headed the Station. From Srinagar , he moved as Station Director AIR Rampur. For two years, he served as secretary of Delhi Urdu Academy.
On 20th Feb 2016, he suffered a massive and
fatal heart attack while addressing a seminar at Delhi Urdu Academy .
Zubair Rizvi’s prominent works include “Lahar
Lahar Nadiya Gahri” (Collection of Poems), Hasht-e-Deewar, Musafat-e-shab,
Purani Baat Hai, Dhoop Ka Saibaan, etc.
His Gazals and poetry had a refreshing
fragrance and modernity. He remained a heart throb of the Mushaira that he
attended.
some couplets of this poet that come to my mind
at the moment are ..
(1)
Beetay huve lamhon ki khushboo hai meray ghar
mein,
Book Rack pe rakhay hain yaadon ke kayee
Album..
(2)
Duur tak koyee na Aaya unn ruto'n ko Chhorrne,
Baadalon ko Jo Dhanak ki churriyaan pehnaa
gayeen.
(3)
Apni zaat ke saare khufiyaa rastey uss par khol
diye,
Jaane kis Aalam mein uss ne haal hamaara
poochha hai..
(4)
Shahar ke dukh ka mudaava Dhoond lo charaagaro,
Iss se pehlay log deewarein siyaah karney
lagein.
(5)
Chamakati dhuup tum apane hi daaman mein na
bhar lenaa,
me saari raat peidon ki tarah baarish mein
bheega huun...
bichhad ke tum se maine bhi koyee saathi nahin
Dhoonda,
hujuum-e-rah_guzar mein. duur tak dekho akelaa
huun.....
( Zubair Rizvi)
Single handedly, he also edited the
much-admired Urdu magazine, 'Zehn-e-Jadid'.He has tried his hand at all genres
of urdu poetry.
I happened to know him while he was in srinagar
. He would come to bank for some private work or drop in sometime casually. His wife Jamshed Jahaan was also an accomplished announcer at Urdu service of AIR. He would sit ,
have a cup of tea and talk about Art and literature. In fact Zubair Rizvi had
recommended English Writer Virginia Woolf to me . He had many friends and
admirers in kashmir.
RIP Zubair Rizvi.You shall be always missed… I
add his poem to this small tribute…
(Zindagi Tujh Se Mil kar zamaanaa huaa)
zindagi Tujh se mil kar zamaanaa huaa,
Aa tujhe Aaj ham maikade le chalein
Raat ke naam honthhon ke saagar likhein
Apani Aankhon me kuchh rat-jage le chalein
kyaa Haseen log hain
in kii Aaraa_ish-e-Khal-o-Khat ke liye
Apani ankhon ke ham Aaiine le chalein
Ajanabi chehare me dost banate nahin
rishte-Naaton kii chaandi barastii nahin
qurbatein sohabatein jin kii yaad Aayengi
Aise kuchh doston ke pate le chalein
Un kii Aankhon ne jalate sulagate hue
Manzaron ke sivaa kuchh bhi dekhaa nahin
phuul-o-Khushbu sabaa zam-zamein le chalein
zindagi Tujh se mil kar zamaanaa Huaa( Autar Mota )
