Sermoniser is an important institution character of classical Urdu poetry. We come across him along with other such institutions characters like a drunkard, lover, and beloved. He preaches for maintaining honesty and purity and speaks against drinking wine and indulging in sensual activities. Interestingly, he himself falls a prey to follies that he preaches against. This is why a sermoniser becomes an object of satire, as well as of laughter in poetry. Here are some interesting couplets that bring this character alive to you.

Qatil

In modern poetry, however, these metaphors have gone stale and a tormentor has acquired many more identities that have a socio-political implication.

Hatim Tai, a native of Yemen, is known as one of the most bountiful and generous human beings on this earth. His reputation as a munificent and kind man had travelled far and wide. People from Yemen and even from outside used to come to him and get their share of his generosity.
A man called Naufil was the king of Arabia during those days. When he came to know about Hatim’s generosity, he got worried that he would soon overshadow him and would become more popular than him. So, when his worry exceeded all limits, he planned something nefarious and sent one of his men to kill him. This man planned to commit this crime in the late night when Hatim was deep in sleep. Thus, he sneaked into his bedroom when he was asleep and just as he lifted his sword; Hatim changed his side and woke up to see this man with a sword in hand ready to kill him. The man got terrified as he had been caught red-handed. He was terrified and feared that he would be killed by Hatim’s men. Hatim asked him the reason why he wanted to kill him. He confessed that he was sent by Naufil to kill him and earn a good amount in turn. The man beseeched Hatim for his forgiveness. Hatim forgave him and said that if he was doing such a crime for money, he would get enough of that even without doing this. The man felt ashamed for the crime he was going to commit. Hatim offered him a bag of asharfis as he had told him a while ago and bid him farewell.
