مرثیہ بعنوان الفکر

There are various forms of Urdu poetry but only MARSIYA is called miraculous one. Unobservant person feels it hard pen down in this genre. As far as the masterpiece “AL-FIKAR” of Soaz Sahib is concerned, it manifests the proficiency of his rhythmic literary work. The thirty rhymes based verses highlight the well-built and indestructible belief of Soaz Sahib as well. If I had had to select one of the consequential Verse, I might have selected every single word that demonstrates its significance, vigorously. Criticizing is not only carried out to those who pretend to be a real follower of Imam-e-Hussain but the absolute truth and the ultimate message of Imam-e-Hussain are also being concluded in every single versification. Soaz Sahib writes:

مومنو! سوچو ذرا ہم ان دنوں ہیں کس طرف؟
علم سے دوری ہے کیوں؟ زورِ خطابت سے شرف؟
تاجرانِ خونِ زہرا ہی حقیقی حق تلف
تُف! مقامِ شرم ہے ناراض ہیں شاہِ نجف

''اِنَّمَا'' سے دور ہیں، اہلِ ہُدا سے دور ہیں
کربلا سے دور ہیں یعنی خدا سے دور ہیں

Soaz Sahib did not let himself forget the spiritual father and mentor the Islamic scholar, religious leader, poet and philosopher “ALLAMA RASHEED TURABI” who has not been found yet and may never truly be replaced. The wounds of Soaz Sahib are clearly seen in his words.

اے عزادارانِ سَیِّد! بعدِ علامہ رشید
اب نہیں نعم البدل عبدِ خدا نعمت
فقید کربلا کے دشت سے اسباق کرتا ہو کشید
بالیقیں تاکیدِ سجدہ رزق دیتا ہو شدید

بس عزا خانے کشادہ ہیں کُتب خانے نہیں
قوم کے بچے ہیں تشنہ آہ! میخانے نہیں

I wish I could have had my tears shared while reading. If one starts thinking rationally and has inquiries about the tragedy of Karbala, He must read “AL-FIKAR” at least once in his life. In addition, two introductory “SALAM” of Soaz Sahib are also being mentioned here.
