Determining the Dates of Creation for 24 of Meeraji’s Poems
تلخیص
Meeraji (born Sanaullah Sani Dar Meeraji) is one of the most creditable names of modern Urdu poetry, known for works such as Meeraji kē Gīt and Tīn Rang. As is true for all poets, it is integral to determine the time period or age around which Meeraji penned down his work. This is important for one’s understanding of the influence upon the poet, as well as the evolution in his/her personality and craft. However, Meeraji's published work appears to be devoid of this calibration and thus a serious engagement is required with his work to determine facts regarding time of publication etc. A handwritten Biyāẕ (notebook) of Meeraji was examined by linguist and scholar Dr. Jameel Jalibi but he appears to have been unable to extract the relevant details. In Kulliyāt-e Meeraji, there is no account of the dates of writing, and those which are mentioned are often found to be incorrect. In this article, the author has closely engaged with the same handbook and has been able to determine the time of writing twenty-four of Meeraji’s poems.
