Wayward Verses Unruly urdu Poetry
- Author Name:
Sanjiv Saraf
- Book Type:

- Description:
Wayward Verses is a celebration of the undaunted spirit of poets who dare to defy social convention and the accepted concepts of morality. These independent thinkers express their convictions in incisive verse to bring down shibboleths and derisively mock the purveyors of “purity”. There is nothing too sacred for them – God, established religion, strictures against drinking, sexuality or homoeroticism. They rebel against all forms of restriction, oppression and dos and don’ts. Biting wit and humour are the weapons they employ to bring home their points. In this book Sanjiv Saraf has assiduously selected verses to give an over-arching view of this terrain along with rhymed translations for the English readers.

‘बे-लगाम शाइरी’ उन शाइरों के अदम्य साहस का जश्न मनाती है, जो सामाजिक रीति-रिवाजों, परंपराओं और नैतिकता की आम कसौटियों को चुनौती देने की हिम्मत रखते हैं। ये आज़ाद-ख़याल शाइर अपनी पैनी और सटीक शाइरी के ज़रीए पुराने जड़ विचारों पर वार करते हैं और “पवित्रता” के ठेकेदारों का ख़ूब मज़ाक़ उड़ाते हैं। उनके लिए कुछ भी और कोई भी इतना पवित्र या ख़राब नहीं कि उस पर सवाल न उठाया जा सके या उस पर बात न की जा सके — चाहे वो ख़ुदा हो, धर्म हो, शराब-नोशी पर पाबंदी लगाने वाले उपदेशक हों, जिस्मानियत का ज़िक्र हो, या फिर समलैंगिकता की बातें हों। ये शाइर हर तरह की रोक-टोक, ज़ुल्म, और ‘ये करो–ये न करो’ जैसी बंदिशों के ख़िलाफ़ आवाज़ उठाते हैं। हाज़िर-जवाबी और तंज़ (व्यंग्य) इन शाइरों के सबसे धारदार हथियार हैं, और इन्हीं के सहारे वो अपनी बात पाठक के दिल में उतार देते हैं। इस किताब में संजीव सराफ़ ने बेहद मेहनत और लगन से ऐसे अश्आर चुनकर पेश किए हैं, जो इस अपारंपरिक शाइरी की पूरी दुनिया का एक संक्षिप्त परिचय देते हैं। उद्योगपति, निवेशक और सामाजिक उद्यमी संजीव सराफ़ कई भूमिकाएँ निभाते नज़र आते हैं, लेकिन उर्दू शाइरी का जुनून उनके दिल के सबसे क़रीब है। उन्होंने रेख़्ता फ़ाउंडेशन की स्थापना की, जो उर्दू भाषा और साहित्य की दुनिया का सबसे बड़ा और लोकप्रिय प्लैटफ़ॉर्म है। साथ ही ये संस्था उर्दू के पुराने ग्रंथों के संरक्षण और युवाओं के बीच उर्दू को बढ़ावा देने के लिए साहित्यिक उत्सवों और अन्य कार्यक्रमों के आयोजन का व्यापक काम कर रही है। सिंधिया स्कूल (1975) और आई.आई.टी. खड़गपुर (1980) के पूर्वछात्र रहे संजीव, कारोबार और उद्योग में तीस से अधिक वर्षों से सक्रिय हैं। इस दौरान उन्होंने पॉलीप्लेक्स कॉरपोरेशन लिमिटेड (एक भारतीय बहुराष्ट्रीय कंपनी) की स्थापना की। साथ ही उन्होंने मनुपत्र (भारत का प्रमुख लीगल डेटाबेस) स्थापित की और ग्रीन-एनर्जी के क्षेत्र में कई छोटे-बड़ी परियोजनाएँ शुरू कीं। इसके बाद उन्होंने अपनी सारी ऊर्जा उर्दू साहित्य पर केंद्रित कर दी और अब पूरी तरह इसी क्षेत्र में सक्रिय हैं, जिसे वो अब तक के अपने जीवन का सबसे संतोषजनक काम कहते हैं। संजीव को कई पुरस्कारों और सम्मानों से नवाज़ा जा चुका है, जिनमें 2016 में मौलाना आज़ाद नेशनल उर्दू यूनिवर्सिटी, हैदराबाद की डॉक्टर ऑफ़ लेटर्स (D.Litt.) की उपाधि; 2018 में अलीगढ़ मुस्लिम यूनिवर्सिटी का नैशनल सर सय्यद एक्सिलेंस अवार्ड; 2020 में रेख़्ता फ़ाउंडेशन के माध्यम से उत्कृष्ट काम के लिए सिंधिया स्कूल का माधव अवॉर्ड; और 2022 में उनके अल्मा मेटर आई.आई.टी. खड़गपुर द्वारा दिए गए डिस्टिंग्विश्ड एलमनाई अवॉर्ड शामिल हैं।
