Madad: yeh kaunsa sher hai?

I know there is a sher by Ghalib (I think) which goes something like:

Nazuki (delicateness) uss lubb/zulf ki kya kahiyay
Kali aik gulab ki see hai

(not sure whether its lubb or zulf)

does anyone know of the correct sher, and who said it? thanks!

my personal preference is Mir. I think he was definitely on par with ghalib if not greater

Getting a little defensive are we now.So anybody who doesn't think mir is not that good as ghalib you resort to cutting down person's credibility..Nice one.

actually no, criticisim is not wrong per se but inaccurate criticism is zushy. in that case, it was obvious you havent read him much or with much poetic intelligence atleast.

Yes I have absolutely no poetic intelligence coming from a great philospher and poet like you..Yes mir can be fluffy but I never said he was not a great poet..In fact some of his later stuff was better than Ghalib..But I just found sometimes mir can be little fluffy..That's just my opinion..

Gairat-e-yusuf hai ye vaqt-e-aziiz
'Meer' is ko raayegaa.N khotaa hai kyaa

The reference to Yusuf (AS) in this one reminds me of Ghalib's reference to Easa (AS):

Ibn-e-Mariam hua karay koi
Meray dard ki dawa karay koi

waisay this Mir chap is pretty good, i must say

Of course it is, you often quote great legends like mir and ghalib and advocate philosophies of keats, so lets see where it has taken you in the arc of poetry..

Believe me what I say to you, that is the ONLY SINGLE sher I have remembered over the years in my life and actually felt quite proud to do so, but even that has come out to be wrong wording-wise. I better kill myself.

philosophy of keats? i have almost never done that directly, good of you to catch it
you do know what his philosophy was i hope?
more apt to say, his approach than philosophy.

bhaiyo, aik aur sher dhuund wa do...this one is from Iqbal for sure. I remember seeing this in grade 5 or 6 on a poster in school, and it stuck on me...but have forgotton the words.

it goes something like this (grossly paraphrasing!):

kafir ki nishaani yeh hai kay hai aasmaN main gum
momin ki nishaani yeh hai kay aasmaN iss main gum hai

mir's mastery was to write ghazals with shorter verses. in urdu they call it "chooti beher" and i think it's not easy to do so. it's like painting with few strokes(it shows the artistic capability of a person to express like that). in contemporary urdu ghazal, nasir kazmi's shairi is a good example of it.

mir is considered more as a hindustani or subcontenental poet. ghalib was very much influenced by some persian poets. according to different critics he was influenced by "urfi" and they critics consider urfi as better than ghalib(certainly not my opinion as i never read urfi)

nasir was one hell of a mir protege, dare i say waisay B.

waisay i am not sure if i completely agree with mir's rep for choti beher. though it has to be said he did it far more than his contemporaries.

i think choti beher was his speciality. just look at this:
dekh to dil ke jaan se uttha he
yeh dhuan sa kahan se uthta he

it's so beautiful especially the second line.

yar for choti beher, nasir was it, i think that was more so his domain than even mir who probably one of the earlier exponents.
