Steeped in a rich history of cultural mingling and periods of creative exchange, the city provided fertile ground for poetic synthesis. Delhi established a legacy of poets whose words set hearts ablaze for the times to come. Love, with all its wine-infused passions and experiences of yearning, has preoccupied classic poets of the city. It also offers to the reader rhymed English transcreations of the selected ghazals so that the work can be enjoyed for the rhythm that the original Urdu-language embraces. As a patron of Urdu poetry and a resident of Delhi, Sanjiv Saraf's personal investment in preserving and furthering the arts in the Urdu world led to the creation of this book. His careful curation and trans-creations render these ghazals readable to novices of classic Urdu poetry. The selection of works that made their way to this book caters to a wide readership-those reading to experience Delhi from the past, those who wish to engage with the musicality of rhymed verses and, most significantly, those who wish to explore the themes of love as conceptualized by classic poets. Desire, longing and the complexities of love are therefore open to exploration for you, dear reader and lover, through the words laid out in these ghazals by the 'voices from beyond'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eसंजीव सराफ़ पॉलिप्लेक्स कार्पोरेशन लि. के संस्थापक, अध्यक्ष और मुख्य अंशधारक हैं।

He set up Rekhta Foundation—which hosts the world’s largest and most popular resource for Urdu language and literature—apart from doing extensive work for preservation of texts and propagation of the language among youth through festivals and events.An alumnus of the Scindia School (1975) and a graduate from IIT Kharagpur (1980), Sanjiv was involved in business and industry for over thirty years during which he founded Polyplex Corpn. Ltd., an Indian multinational, Manupatra, India’s leading legal database, and other ventures in the green energy space. Thereafter, he turned his energies towards Urdu literature and is now fully involved in what he considers ‘the most satisfying work of my life, so far’.Sanjiv is a recipient of several awards and honours, including the distinguished Doctor of Letters (D. Litt.) degree by Maulana Azad National Urdu University Hyderabad in 2016, the National Sir Syed Excellence Award 2018 by Aligarh Muslim University for his contribution to the cause of preserving and promoting Urdu and the Madhav Award as an Old Boy of Eminence for the year 2020 by the Scindia School for his outstanding work through Rekhta Foundation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #073763; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;\"\u003eRead Sample Data\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eindex\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 ādmī ādmī se miltā hai -

I knew about Ghalib of course, and had even attempted to track down more than the standard remains that are visible in Nizamuddin, near where I lived in Delhi for a few happy years. But I also had the impression that Ghalib’s was a sour, cynical, sarcastic and drunken presence, rather than a funny, playful and passionate one. But I found that my Indian friends would always or invariably smile whenever the subject of Urdu poetry came up, so I gradually realized that there was something very special there. But there was so much to discover about Indian culture, confusing and inspiring as it is, always—past, present and future—now and forever—so Urdu remained impenetrable to me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo it has been only in the last 4-5 years that I have begun to discover Urdu hand in hand with Rekhta. I have shared throughout, though remotely, in the enthusiasm which my friend Sanjiv discovered for the language and culture and expressed to such an extent that it took over and completely transformed his life. The power of Urdu has taken Sanjiv’s life over and also, through Rekhta, it has inspired so many more people worldwide with the wonders of its poetry—like the poetry in this book and in other books which drink from the same spring—the Pierian spring of the muses, as the Ancient Greeks put it. There are many wonderful things about Urdu but, for me, the very best things about Urdu are that it completely transcends the boundaries between high and low culture, between sophisticated and rustic forms of language, and also between nations—and does so effortlessly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe essence of Urdu is extremely difficult to capture in English. Perhaps that is partly because English has turned from being a creative expressive force, as it was in the seventeenth century, into an amalgam of different cultures best suited to expressing business—and also scientific—propositions and not so good for beautiful poetry. Urdu started in some ways as a sophisticated literary language and it still has many formal aspects but it manages to combine those formalities with simple language and at times, extremely direct meaning. [I recently discovered for example that publications of prose storytelling in Urdu–following the Persian—tended to be in rhyming prose until the time of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan] Urdu poetry requires metre and sometimes also rhyme which are of course quite different in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe concept of transcreating was started by Sanjiv in his earlier book, \"Nav\u003cspan\u003eā\u003c\/span\u003e-e-Sarosh\". In that book I found, and many other readers have found, that the constraints of English rhyming couplets, though not the same, are a pretty good proxy for it–and they help to create, from time to time, some pleasing lines of English verse. My role in what certainly is transcreating and not a form of ‘co-creating’ happened \u003cbr\u003espontaneously, but gradually, working very closely together, Sanjiv and I have found that it helps to have two ears to make sure that the rhymes and the sometimes archaic-seeming English word order work as smoothly as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the process I began to compare the works of Meer, Momin, Dagh, Ghalib and others with those of some of my favourite poets in other languages–for example the Latin poets from around the first century CE–most famously Horace, Virgil and Ovid, but more concisely and pungently in the satire of Martial and Juvenal and the love-crazed poems of Propertius and Catullus. I could also compare them with Spanish poetry from Spain’s Golden Age around 1600–not just sonorous Calderón, but the pungent Quevedo and the sonorous Góngora and the mystical poems of religious love of two saints, San Juan de la Cruz and Santa Teresa de Ávila.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe taut style of the Urdu classics is actually closest in English verse to the metaphysical poets who, from 1610-1660, equated love with religion, just as Urdu poets have done. John Donne is the most famous of these poets–a traveller, first on an English pirate-ship in the Caribbean, a great lover and poet of love, and finally a successful cleric who specialized in extraordinarily mystical sermons. But there is also George Herbert, much loved to this day, much simpler and more easily-loved than Donne.

I have chosen here some English verses where the sound and the sense are to some extent at war with each other, as is sometimes the case with Urdu verse. I love the soft and melodic musical qualities of Urdu poetry, and the fact that it seems as if the poet always has in his mind the way it would hear but the kind of spirit and even the tones of the music he would like it to be set to (Ghalib was very particular about this, of course). English poetry is not nearly so closely associated with music as Urdu poetry is. That is why Urdu poetry is so well attuned to being set to music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo the poets of all the she’rs in this book, it is what the English call the turn of phrase which matters above all: That is what makes the meanings so direct and memorable and amusing, the ability to combine the most unlikely feelings and thoughts in the same she’r—for example abject self-pity and sarcasm, sentimentality and abuse, detachment and self-absorption and provocation and formality.
