Hausla Bhi Udaan Deta Hai
Ashok Anjum6 verses · ~1 min
कौन सीरत पे ध्यान देता है आईना जब बयान देता है
मेरा किरदार इस ज़माने में बारहा इम्तिहान देता है
पंख अपनी ज़गह पे वाजिब है हौसला भी उड़ान देता है
जितने मगरूर हुए जाते हैं मौला उतनी ढलान देता है
बीती बातों को भुलाकर के वो आज फिर से जुबान देता है
तेरे बदले में किस तरह ले लूँ वो तो सारा जहान देता है!

The Poet
Ashok Anjum
1961 · 2000s
Ashok Anjum holds a highly respected place in modern Hindi literature as a devoted guardian of lyrical traditions. Born in 1958 in Aligarh, he dedicated his creative life to enriching the Navgeet, Doha, and Ghazal forms. At a time when contemporary poetry heavily favored free verse, Anjum insisted on the necessity of rhythm and classical structure. He writes with profound sensitivity about changing human values, rural displacement, and the moral decay of modern society. Beyond his own poetic output, he has been a prominent editor and a guiding force in reviving the literary prestige of the Aligarh region. His verses carry the quiet dignity of a man who observes the world deeply, using gentle melodies to deliver razor sharp social critique.
