ASAD - 16

Originally posted on rec.music.indian.misc in 1995

Religious stories and beliefs get curiously mixed with Urdu Shayari. This is quite well known. But every Shayar has his own inspiration.

As far as my knowledge goes, and somebody please correct me, there is a belief in Islam/Christianity that sometime in future there is going to be a doomsday. "Qayaamat" it is called. And at that time, everybody will be judged by his or her "paap-punya ka hisaab". This is what happened to this Shayar, when God started judging him..

mahashar = doomsday
Qarim = God

mahashar me ek sawaal kiya tha Qarim ne
mujh se wahaN bhi, aap ki tareef ho gayi !!!

- Adam (!)

I am sorry, if I have got it wrongly. In that case let me apologize in anticipation.

- Abhay.

ASAD _also_ stands for "A Sher A Day" !
