About The Book

یگانہؔ ایک کلاسیکی غزل گو شاعر تھے۔ حالانکہ انہوں نے قطعات و رباعیات بھی کہی ہیں لیکن ان کی اصل پہچان ان کی غزلیں ہی ہیں۔ انہوں نے غزل کے موضوعات کے دائرے کو ایک نئی جہت اور اونچائی عطا کی اور ایسے مضامین نظم کیے جو پہلی بار حقیقت پسندانہ کیفیت کے ساتھ غزل کے افق پر نمودار ہوئے۔ وہ خود اپنی ذاتی زندگی میں، جس طرح کے شیریں و تلخ تجربات سے گزرے تھے اور زندگی کے اتار چڑھاؤ کا جس طرح تجربہ کیا تھا، اس سے ان کے دل و دماغ نے جو تاثرات قبول کیے تھے، انہیں واقعات نے ان کی غزلوں کو اصلیت پسندی اور تابناکی بخشی۔ زیر نظر کتاب "آیات وجدانی"یگانہ چنگیزی کا دوسرا اور اہم ترین مجموعہ تھا جو 1927 میں منظر عام پر آیا تھا۔ یگانہ کی شاعرانہ اہمیت کا دارو مداربڑی حڈ تک اسی مجموعے پر ہے، اس مجموعہ کویگانہ نے خود ہی چھاپا تھا، جس میں زورِکلام، بندش کی چستی کے علاوہ بلند بانگ مضامین کے لیے ایسے الفاظ پیش کئے گئے ہیں، جو پوری طرح مفہوم کو ذہن نشین کرانے کے ساتھ ساتھ خیالات کو بھی جلا دیتے ہیں۔ دوسری چیز جو ان کی شاعری میں دلکشی پیدا کرتی ہے وہ ہے ’’طنز‘‘ ،ان کی شاعری کا یہ عنصر کہیں کہیں اتنا تیز اور تیکھا ہوتا ہے کہ زور بیان کا لطف دوبالا کردیتا ہے ۔

About The Author

Yaas Yagana Changezi (1884-1956), whose ancestors had migrated from Iran and joined the Mughal army, was born in Azimabad, now Patna, and named Mirza Wajid Hussain. He also wrote under the pen name of ‘Yaas’ (despair) before choosing ‘Yagana’ (matchless) as his nom de plume. This choice for a change of name reflected his independent and defiant nature. Shad Azimabadi, another major contemporary poet who lived in Azimabad, pruned his taste and helped him hone his skills. Yagana shifted to Calcutta and was also married there, but chose to find a new home in Lucknow only to discover to his utter despair that the place was too unkind to him. As he was egotistical, uncompromising, and unable to control his brusque manners and acerbic expression, he could not strike a chord with the poets there. He caused controversies and came to be identified as a highly non-conformist, controversial, and provocative poet, who found faults even with Ghalib and Iqbal. He further went to the extent of making controversial statements about religious belief and was attacked by a mob.

Quite in keeping with his personality, Yagana’s tone in his poetry was direct, curt, and stinging but he was sober and dignified in his renditions in spite of all his iconoclasm. More than writing about the myriad manifestations of love, he wrote about the manifestations of life in his poetry. He developed a brave and bold attitude towards life and the dignity of man even while he engaged with the oddities of life rather uncompromisingly. A certain sense of scepticism that took him over, did not allow him to achieve a broader philosophical stance in his poetry. Yagana was essentially an interrogator of both life and art, who lived and survived in his individual splendour. Yagana’s works are collected in Nashtar-e Yas, Tarana, Aayat-e Wijdaani, and Ganjina.
