Once the poet Insha came to see Jurrat. Jurrat was deep in thought. Insha asked him as to what he was thinking about. Jurrat replied, "I have composed a misra (a line) and I am thinking of the second one to complete the couplet. Insha asked him what the misra was but Jurrat would not say. When Insha insisted, Jurrat recited the line: us zulf pe phabatii shab-e-dejuur kii suujhii [shab-e-dejuur = dark night] Insha immediately supplied the second line: andhe ko andhere me.n ba.Dii duur kii suujhii Jurrat laughed, picked up his walking stick and ran after Insha to hit him. You see, Jurrat was blind. Source: From the archives of ALUP (alt.language.urdu.poetry) Posted by: Jamil Ahmad |
