The author of Aab-e-Hayaat, Maulana Mohammad Hussain Azad was teaching in Government College Lahore. Some one asked him as to why the word "qalam" was masculine in Urdu. (In Punjabi, it is feminine.) Azad lifted a pen from his desk, plunged it into the inkpot and said: "That is why." Source: From the archives of ALUP (alt.language.urdu.poetry) Posted by: Jamil Ahmad |
