Khudaa ka sher, hiran ka shikaar kyaa kartaa! Jarii thaa, bhaagne vaaloN pe vaar kyaa kartaa! Phir uske baad jinaaN tak thaa Hur, Husain ke saath Na jaane kaun sii niyat se raah rokii thii Kaasa-e-dast-e-shaahadat meN bharaa ghar rakh diyaa Is ko kehte haiN saKhaawat, aise hote haiN saKhii Phir uske baad qasiida teraa paRhaa jaaye A few couplets that were recited at this mushaira:Ĭhiraagh dast-e-havaa par jalaa diyaa jaaye Such events are held regularly in towns and also in praise of other great Islamic personalities also. The couplets were in praise of Hazrat Imam Husain, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad.Īpart from citizens, members of different political parties and leaders were present at the poetic meet. In one of the Mehfil-e-Muqasida that was organised at Manglaur town in Hardwar districts, umpteen poets recited their verses.

I have attended ‘Tarahi’ mushairas but could never participate in such mehfils. I have heard about Mehfil-e-Muqasida quite often but didn’t have much information about them.
