Ameer Meenaai as laudatory poem writer
Abstract
"Munshi Ameer Ahmed Minaai's name in Urdu literature doesn't
need any introduction. He is well reputed for being the writer and
poet. He was born in Lucknow on Monday 16th of Shaban 1244
hijri.After completing his studies he diverted himself towards
verses paying full head on this area and he started learning more
from the famous poet of his era Like Muzafar Ali Khan Aseer. It
was the glorious period of Urdu poetry in Lucknow when Munshi
Ameer Ahmed Minaai was born. Anees and Dabeer's Marsia
writing was on the pinnacle and the students of Nasikh and
Aaatish were spreading their colours of talent throughout the lush
meadows of the exotic poetry.He does not stick to just one
discipline but expresses himself in various disciplines of Urdu
poetry proving his second to none versatility by expressing in all
literary genres with consummate dexterity. He was also known as
the best lexicographer and a Tazkira nigar. The whip and scorn
of Time made dust of ignorance slowly overwhelm Munshi Ameer
Ahmed Minaai's writing, which was slowly being wiped out.
Munshi Ameer Ahmed Minaai wrote numerous Qasaid but
according to Ameer, many of his work lost during the war of
independence (1857) . Despite these mishaps there are still fifty
four of them available out of which eighteen are still appreciated.
His twelve published Qasaid are available in his famous book "
Mirat-ul-Ghaib and " Mahamid -e-Khatmun- Nabuyeen ".
However some are published in magazines and other in his
students' publications. Ameer's thirty six unanticipated Qasaid
are under his grandson custody which proved valuable. Every
possible attempts were made for completing of Ameer's
Qasaid.After going through of Ameer's Qasaid I have concluded
that of Ameer's name must be equivalent to Zauq, After Sauda in
the history of Qaseeda Writing."
