Muslims of India

Atique Muzaffarpuri, coming from the village Mahesh Sthan was one of the prominent Urdu journalists, fiction writers and poets of the North Bihar. Some of his gazals and one book compiled by him ‘Sabrang Shaeri’ amongst others are available online.
I have gone through his poems finding interesting and hilarious:
फ़लक पर कोई साज़िश हो रही है
समुंदर पर ही बारिश हो रही है

हटाए जा रहे हैं काम के लोग
निकम्मों पर नवाज़िश हो रही है

दबाया जा रहा है ख़ूबियों को
जिहालत की नुमाइश हो रही है

बुराई चल रही है पीठ पीछे
मगर मुँह पर सताइश हो रही है

नवाज़ा जा रहा है दुश्मनों को
वफ़ादारों से पुर्सिश हो रही है

‘अतीक़’ अब चल-चलाव की घड़ी है
दुआओं की गुज़ारिश हो रही है

Being a journalist, he has grip on the society and human psyche finding the diversity in the natural world. Raining on the ocean, rewarding the unworthy while ignoring the talents, promoting foolery on the cost of wisdom and hypocrisy have been echoed in the aforesaid gazal written by Atique Muzaffarpur.

The richest person of the world Elon Musk is investing billions of rupees in his Mars Colonization Mission while millions of the poor around the globe are struggling for the basics of existence. Look into the following gazal wherein Atique Sb laments the mentality of materialism, capitalism and nonsense priorities of the human society.
दिल लगाना चाहिए चल कर किसी हैवान से
दर्जहा बेहतर हैं ये इस दौर के इंसान से

बरकतें जो उठ गई हैं आज दस्तर-ख़्वान से
मेज़बाँ डरने लगे हैं आमद-ए-मेहमान से

फ़स्ल बोई जाएगी सुनते हैं अब मिर्रीख़ पर
दूरियाँ यूँ बढ़ रही हैं खेत से खलियान से

कर लिया है सब ने जाएज़ हर अमल इस खेल में
गर्म रक्खेंगे सियासत झूट से बोहतान से

सर्द होगी एक दिन ये आतिश-ए-नमरूद भी
बारहा गुज़रे हैं हम इस कर्ब के तूफ़ान से

वक़्त की रफ़्तार ने सब का बदल डाला मिज़ाज
शाएरी भी हो रही है अब नए उन्वान से

मुल्क से रिश्ता हमारा है कुछ ऐसा ही ‘अतीक़’
जिस्म का जैसे हुआ करता है रिश्ता जान से
“The blessings that have been lifted from the tablecloth today,
The hosts have started to fear the arrival of guests.”
This third couplet from the gazal reminds me of my Nana Huzoor Marhoom, Maulana Abu Zafar Sahab Qadri, founder of Darul Uloom Gulgshan-e-Madina, Mauna, who took immense pleasure in entertaining anyone who happened to visit him at his residence.

Atique Muzaffarpuri was a noted journalist and writer who made significant contributions to Urdu journalism. He is best known as the founder-editor of Saeban Urdu Daily and Urdu-Hindi fortnightly, published from cities including Delhi, Bhopal, Ghaziabad, Muzaffarpur, and Ranchi. He considered Urdu journalism a mission rather than just a profession. His work was celebrated at a seminar in New Delhi on his 9th death anniversary, where a book titled Atiq Muzaffarpuri: Life and Services, written by Javed Rehmani, his son, was released, highlighting his life and achievements. The event, organized by Anjuman Taraqqi Urdu Hind and Saeban Foundation, underscored his impact as a journalist and poet, with speakers emphasizing his dedication to Urdu literature and journalism.

Atique Muzaffarpuri has complied one collection of poetry on the basis of topics rather than other criteria, for example, we find couplets on eye, mirror, tears, veil, flower, stone, photo, youth, paradise, beauty and word etc in this collection.

His son Javed Rehmani continues the legacy of his father through the publications in Urdu and Hindi under the name Saeban. (Hamid Siddiqui) βββ
