Description

THE FIRST TWO URDU & SUFI POETS Qutub Shah & Wali Deccani SELECTED POEMS & BIOGRAPHIES Translation & Introduction Paul Smith Qutub Shah (1565-1611) was the fifth sultan of the Qutub Shahi dynasty of Golconda in South India. He founded the city of Hyderabad. Qutab Shah was a scholar of Arabic and Persian. He wrote poetry in Urdu and Persian. His poetry has been compiled into a Divan of ghazals, masnavis, qasidas, ruba'is, and qit'as. He had the distinction of being the first Urdu (Rekhta) poet and is credited with introducing a new sensibility into prevailing genres of Persian/Urdu poetry. He was a Sufi poet and a devout Shi'ite Muslim. Wali Deccani was born in 1667 in Aurangabad, India. He loved travelling and his visit to Delhi in 1700 is considered to be of significance for Urdu ghazals. His simple, sensuous and melodious poems in Urdu, awakened the Persian loving poets of Delhi to the beauty and capability of 'Rekhta'. He stimulated the development of the Urdu ghazal in Delhi. His favourite theme was love, mystical (Sufi) and earthly, and his tone was one of cheerful affirmation and acceptance, rather than of melancholy. Wali died in Ahmedabad in 1707.
