دیوانِ نسیم لکھنوی کا بنیادی نسخہ اور طرزِ طباعت
No full textMany of Urdu's orthographic issues are result of erroneous or clumsy styles of calligraphy adopted by different calligraphers in the classical period of Urdu literature, as books were handwritten in those days by the professional calligraphers before printed through lithography. These variant styles of writing a word by calligraphers have caused confusion and certain Urdu words are found with different spellings in classical texts, some of which are still a topic of heated debates among the scholars. This research article examines an old text of Naseem Lakhnavi's divan and discusses the variant spellings of different words resulting in errors and incorrect text
حلّاج کا تصورِ عشق اور سچّل
No full textHussain Bin Mansoor Hallaj is known world over for his views that brought about his death sentence. Some of the religious scholars of the day thought Hallaj's ideas were blasphemous and it is said that Hallaj was put to death on their orders. But Sufi poets of different languages are much impressed by Hallaj and they not only show love and respect for Hallaj but also seem quite impressed with his views. This has also led some of the Sufis to be inspired by Hallaj's idea of 'ishq' (extreme love, especially love of God) while composing their own poetry. This paper finds certain familiarities between Hallaj's idea of 'ishq' and that of Sachchal Sarmast's views, as expressed in Sachchal's poetry written mainly in Seraiki and Sindhi languages
