Hi Friend, This is just by chance that I visited your site (For some good Shaayari) after visiting one site of Mr. Shoeb (I think I have spelt it properly). You are having a really nice collection of shaayari and is really appreciable. But this mail that I am writing to you is not for Shaayari, but is to get some knowledge from you about ISLAM. I would like to give you a brief introduction of myself. I am a computer Engineer and working as a System Analyst in a US based company. Now a days I am working on a project of Voice Mail in Brazil. I was born in UP and completed my studies in Delhi. Actually, after coming here (in Brazil), I was always looking for some good Indian site, where I can get some good matter. After coming here, I came to know that there is a small temple of Lord Krishna. I was very excited. The thing which I realised that, when I was in INdia, I was least bothered about spending my time for any such thing, But What was the thing which made me excited about this small temple. This was memory of my country. Here, people are not aware about India. They know a slight about Hindu Religion, but nothing about Islam Religion. One day when I was showing them some site of Delhi, I was not able to tell them much about Jama Masjid. I felt very bad as I don't know about religions of my country even. I want you to help me. Also, I am creating my own web site. I wish to put all about India and Indians in it. For the same, I need as much information as you can send me about Masjid's and their history, History of Islam and any other matter related to Islam religion. I will appreciate your friendly help. Waiting for your reply, Gopesh Raghuvanshi.

Just wanted to say thanks! I've been listening to Galib, Faiz and Iqbal from M.Rafi, Lata, Gulam Ali, Jagjit, etc. Not till today have I been able to better understand the words in their ghazals. Urdu is not my forte and you have made it easy. Salaam.

Dear Hamid Syed: I found your web site on urdu poetry extremely interesting. I only have one suggestion. Instead of Romanized Urdu, the actual arabic/nastaliq script would be more appropriate. I am not a technical person, but there are sites in Persian and Arabic in arabic script. One of them is (www.netiran.com) In case you are aware of any site in nastali q script pls let me know.Thanks and your effort is really commendable. Bashir

I really appreciate the effort of keeping the memory of great urdu poets alive in this unpoetic country but I'm sure the poor poets must be turning in their graves upon reading the english translations of their works, not to mention the countless spell ing mistakes which are adding insult to injury. Why can't we desi's ever do anything properly, why do we have to leave the "CCHAAP" OF mediocrity on everything we touch or conceive. Thanks.

Hamid Sahib, Thank you for putting some great poetry for us to peruse. I wish more people did that. (I myself am too lazy.) Hamid Sahib if you don't mind, I would like to suggest a minor correction. In your excerpt from Tulu' e Islam, the correct form of the couplet is: nawa paira ho ai bulbul ke ho teray tarannum say kabutar ke tan e nazuk meiN shaheeN ka jigar paida Again, thank you for a beautiful sample of poetry.
