Gauhar, Hameeda, Zehra, Surayya, Kaneez

Anisur Rahman

MORE BYAnisur Rahman

    Asrarul Haq Majaz (1911-1955), also known as Mjaz Lucknowi, has traditionally been called a poet of romance and revolution. Rightly so, for he excelled as a poet who could artfully weave the two strains together. Indeed, he found love in revolution and revolution in love. Love matters but not necessarily the names that figure in the story of lovers. In the genuine and honest story of Majaz, there are quite a few names. He loved beauteous being who happened to be now Gauhar, now Hameeda, now Zehra, now Surayya, and now Kaneez. All of them stand out as incarnations of male desire—the unfulfilled hankering of a poet, who lived, loved, and died of excessive drinking.
