Remembering Mirza Ghalib with a mushaira

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 27 April 2013 | 22.10

NEW DELHI: A mushaira in Mughaliya andaz (style) on Saturday evening at the India Islamic Cultural Centre will be the highlight of two-day cultural festival commemorating the death anniversary of renowned 19th century Urdu poet Mirza Ghalib.

The main attraction of the mushaira are Hindi poets, Uday Pratap Singh and Laxmi Shanker Vajpayee. Others participating in the mushaira include Munnawar Rana, Wasim Barelvi, Nawaz Deobandi, Rahat Indori, Sharaf Nanparvi, Kursheed Haider, Aizaz Merut Popularly, Manzar Bhopali, Salim Sidiqui, Anwar Jalalpuri and Shahid Anjum.

Earlier on April 26, the screening of a documentary on the life and times of the Urdu poet by well-known Kathak dancer Uma Sharma marked the opening of the festival. The film titled Yadgar-e- Ghalib included recitations of Ghalib's couplets by eminent poets such as Sardar Jafri, Kaifi Azmi and Ahmed Faraz ( Pakistan).

The film was followed by Nrityabhaav, a dance-drama based on Ghalib's couplets by Sharma and her group. The verses had been specially selected to bring out the universal appeal of his thought over life, death and love.

According to Sharma, the couplets were specially chosen from Ghalib's later work. "He was essentially a romantic poet who spent his last days in stark poverty and hardships. Hence the dancers captured three moods: the remorseful, the lonely and the philosophical Ghalib," says Sharma, founder of Ghalib Memorial Movement (GMM) that organised the event in collaboration with ICCR and Delhi government.

The GMM wanted to hold the function in February (Ghalib died on Feb 15) but lack of funds led to the delay, says Sharma.
