MF Husain - poetic tribute by Ahmad Ali Barqi Azmi
Maqbool Fida Husain, 95, the renowned contemporary and progressive artist who put India on the world's art map, died today in London's Royal Brompton hospital, after a month of illness. Husain died of a heart attack at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London.
Considered to be the pioneer of Indian avant garde, Husain has been both adulated and hated. A Padma Shree, Padma Bhushan and Padma Vibhushan awardee, Husain first came into controversy when his first 'anti-Hindu' work, nude depictions of Indian goddesses, was published in 1996. Death threats by Hindu fanatics resulted, as did legal petitions by BJP and RSS and vandalism of Husain's art exhibitions. Husain finally had to leave the country in self-imposed exile after the controversial Bharatmata painting of 2006.. Here is a poetic tribute to MF Husain by Ahmad Ali Barqi Azmi.

Late Syed Irshad Ahmad Rizvi
نظم
دَرد کا رِشتہ
)اپنے مرحوم بھائ سیّد اِرشاد احمد رضوی
کے سوگ میں سو گوار بہن(
ڈاکٹر سیّدہ عمِرانہ نشتر خیرابادی
رات ہے میرے غم کی پر چھایئں
دِن دِل کے زخموں کا اُ جالاہے
پھِر بھی میں نہیں ہوں تنہا
کا یئنات کی ہر شے مِرے ساتھ سو گوار ہے
شریِک غم ہے یہ اُداس اُداس چاند
سِتاروں کی رنگت بھی زرد ہو گئ ہے
بادلوں کا دِل بھرا بھرا ہے
زمیں کی آنکھ میں بھی نمی ہے
پہاڑوں کے چہرے سانولا گئے ہیں
آبشارں کی چال میں بے کلی ہے
بِجلیوں کے سینے میں تڑپ بھر گئ ہے
ہوا کی سانس میں وحشت بج رہی ہے
قلبِ سمندر میں ہے شور بپا
مو جیں سر پٹکتی ہوئ بے حال ہو گیئں ہیں
شجر سر گو شیاں کر رہے ہیں
’’ یہی شخص کیوں نِگاہ میں آیا؟
اِسے ہی فلک نے کیوں نِشانہ بنایا؟
یہ عشق و محبّت کی باتیں ہیں
ہم کو تُم کو معلوم نہیں
رب جِس کو زیادہ چاہتا ہے
درد اُسی کو دیتا ہےــــ”

TRUE EMPATHY
(Dadicated to my dear brother late Syed Irshad Ahmad Rizvi)
Dr. Syeda Imrana Nashtar Khairabadi
The night is the shadow of my sorrow
The day is the light of my burning wounds
Even then I am not lonely
The whole universe is sharing in my grief
The moon is sad
The stars have turned pale with agony
The eyes of the earth filled with tears
The face of mountain is darken with grief
The waterfalls are restless
There is pain and pang in the lightening
There is shuddering in the breath of wind
And turbulence in the bosom of ocean
The waves thrashing frenzy become distraught
The trees are whispering
“Why did this JOB came into sight?
Why this is made target by the cruel destiny?
This is a matter of higher and super love
What do we mortals know of this?
Whom He loveth best, gives the suffering most
