machhli ke jaye ko kon tairna sikhayiye !
machhli ke jaye ko kon tairna sikhayiye, sir syed Ahmed Khan hindostan mein jis tehreek ke ilm bardaar thay, Altaf Hussain haali isi ke naqeeb thay .
sir syed ne urdu nasr ko jo Waqar aur aala tanqeed ke johar ataa kiye thay, haali ke murassa qalam ne unhein chamkaya. haali ki insha pardazi, mazmoon aur sawanah nigari ke kayi namoonay urdu adab main yadgar hain .
sir syed ki rafaqat aur sohbat main haali ko un ki zindagi ke mukhtalif adwaar ko semathnay ka mauqa bhi mila aur unhon ne usay hayaat Javed main akhatta kardiya. sir siid ki aik yaad haali ne youn raqam ki hai .
teer andazi ki shbaahtain bhi sir syed ke mamu nawab zain alaabdin Khan ke makaan par hoti theen .
woh (sir syed) kehte thay ke “mjhay –apne mamu aur waalid ke shoq ka woh zamana jab ke nihayat dhoom dhaam se teer andazi hoti thi, yaad nahi. magar jab dobarah teer andazi ka charcha hwa woh bakhoobi yaad hai .
is zamana mein darya ka jana moqoof ho gaya tha. Zahar ki namaz ke baad teer andazi shuru hoti thi. nawab fatah Allah bag Khan , nawab syed Azmat Allah Khan , nawab ibrahim Ali Khan aur chand Shah zade aur Raees aur shoqeen is jalsa mein shareek hotay thay .
nawab Shams Aldeen Khan Raees feroz poor jhirka jab dlli mein hotay thay to woh bhi atay thay. mein ne bhi isi zamana mein teer andazi sikhi aur mujh ko khasi mashq ho gayi thi .
mujhe khoob yaad hai ke aik dafaa mera nishana jo today mein nihayat safai se ja kar betha to waalid bohat khush hue aur kaha, ” machhli ke jaye ko kon tairna sikhayiye! ”
yeh jalsa barson tak raha, phir moqoof ho gaya. ”
