From Amir Khusro<\/strong> to Rukhsar Amrohvi this beautiful groom, the Urdu language, caparisoned different attires and took many shapes. The lovers of this beautiful damsel had given her several names: Hindi, Hindavi, Dakni, Lashkari, Rekhta and the last in this chronology is Urdu. Literature in Urdu grew at three different centres: Deccan, Delhi and Lucknow. Urdu is a melting pot of most of the Indian languages and the languages that were spoken in Islamic countries. It has words of Persian, Arabo-Persian and Sanskrit -derived Prakrit with a sprinkle of every Indian language. Ameer Khusrau, the famous sufi saint, poet, musician, inventor and warrior is supposed to be the father and \u2018Khari Boli\u2019 has adopted this baby of Khusrua as its own daughter. Born and brought in pure Indian environment it had taken the impact of Persian or Farsi somehow, the language of Kings and courtiers. Lapse of a century after his death Quli Qutab Shah was considered speaking a language that thought to have possibly been Urdu. It is interesting to learn that with the death of Emperor Aourengzeb, the use of Persian declined in Indian sub-continent. A new language was finding its entry in the towering shoes of Farsi. It was Urdu. Mohammed Shah \u2018Rangeela\u2019 another Moghal King helped to catapult this language to pedestal of National Language which effective replaced Persian. Shanshah Bahadur Shah Zafar gave respect to the language it deserved.<\/p>\n

From the Mughals courts of Red Fort to the Mughals of Film Industry it was a journey that makes a beautiful but painful bumpy literary story. Sohrab Modi, K Asif and Kamal Amrohi are the few names that conjure up when we talk of Bollywood. Poetess Rukhsar Amrohvi is the only daughter, the beloved daughter and the real heir of Kamal Amrohvi\u2019s creative artistic heritage. She is gifted with all those assets that could have made the indelible marks upon any field of film industry she would have chosen to embark. She used her discretion and decided to confine to literary side only. Name, fame, pomp and pelf, these were the part of life of the family life where Rukhsar opened her eyes. Rais Amrohvi<\/strong> and Jaun Elia<\/strong> as uncles, Meena Kumari<\/strong> as step-mother and Kamal Amrohvi as father, what else upon earth you need to define yourself.<\/p>\n

Rukhsar Kamal Amrohi<\/p><\/div>\n

Rushsar was so close to her father that even today he exists and beckons her at every turn of her life. She is a poet who speaks her heart without disturbing your rhythm. She shares her experiences as you move along. You are no longer a distant observer as the boat sails. When you read her poetry you both travel on the same wave length. She had a loaded and painful past and a lot to complain about. She doesn\u2019t. She asks for understanding and not your sympathy.<\/p>\n

\u201cBe sabab sir jhuka rahe ho tum,
\nKya tumhen mujhse kuch nadamat hai ?\u201d
\nFor no reason your head is being lowered. Have u got any reason to feel sorry to me? Words with deepest expressions come simple and natural to her.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho jo jism-o-jan men tha rabta, mujhe kya khabar tujhe kya pata,
\nMere dil ko kaise mila sukun ? Meri jan kaise nikal gayee ?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You can\u2019t flower these verses without the command over the language and style.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe link that existed between body and soul, neither you nor I am aware; How my heart attained its peace and how did my soul depart?\u201d<\/p>\n
