Intikhab-e-Kalam: Momin / انتخاب کلام مومن

Muhammad Raza Kazmi

4/5 ( ratings)

Momin Khan Momin has been regarded by twentieth century critics as the quintessential poet of the classical Ghazal. Momin had a very polished diction. In his love poems, he depicts the conventional abject adoration considered the correct form. Beyond this, his lyrics display rapture and the aspect of a dialogue which elevates his poetry. Quite apart from his love poetry, Momin took interest in the political upheavals of his time, saying in an often quoted verse that if nothing else, revolution offered hope. Momin's poetry had great variety in forms, he composed Odes and Masnavis also but his Ghazals proved to be the most enduring. They are not only recited, they are sung. In this short but representative selection, a new generation of students and admirers will be able to access his poetry, sometimes described as the lynchpin of the Urdu Ghazal.
