This belongs here; it got popted an the ``flower..`` board by mistake.

Qasmi`s column : `` Fifty years after Manto`s death``. Great stuff to read

Dear echoboon

Thank you for encouraging me but I still fail to work it. Here is the URL of your post at 12 without (``...``) as you advised:

http://www.bizbrowse.com/UrduDiegest/UrduPoetry/AhmadNadeemQasimi/006/poetry15.gif

What to do next now? Where to copy/paste it now?

Teshah sahib:

You are doing fine, which means you are not an ``old parrot``.

just remove the (``...``) on both ends & copy/paste it. It works.

Re: # 15

Thank you dear echoboon but sorry I could not make it. I can paste the relevant URL here as you advised but nothing happens. Here it is:
``http://www.bizbrowse.com/UrduDiegest/UrduPoetry/AhmadNadeemQasimi/006/poetry15.gif``

Please guide me what to do further. Please mind that you are teaching an `old parrot`. It would perhaps be better if we communicate direct through our personal email if you have no reservations. My email address is:talawat@hotmail.com

you`re more than welcome.

You treat the urdu page just as a picture. Double right click. Properties. left one click on properties & copy paste the url. You can also copy ``image location`` on the pop-up & copy/paste.

Try it on the poem I posted at 12. post it but do not submit it..& you will see it work.

Re: # 12

Thank you dear Echoboon for the beautiful poems of Qasmi you let us read. I wonder why I did not see much of his writings when as a young boy I did read both his short stories and poems and appreciated them much. One of his `shehr` (a couplet) which I had read as a young boy I ever remember whenever I am in a depressed and despondent state of mind:

Yoon biphar jaate hein mahowl-o-muqaddar ke naqeeb
jeise fitrat ka khilona hoon mein insaan naheen hoon

(I wish I could have posted it in Urdu font but I don`t know how to do it as echoboon did so beautifully. Will he please let me know how to do it?)

Dear all,
Assalam o Alaikum,

I am searching profile of Dr. Arifa Syed, a well known literary personality of urdu, however i have not find any detail about her, i had seen her several programs at PTV and specially a documentary on ``Life in Lahore``, she is a admirer of Lahori Culture.

Can anybody provide me any web link or web address of Dr. Arifa ? plz

A na`aat* by Ahmed Nadeem Quasmi.


*
(poem expressing love, devotion & respect for the prophet (pbuh). There is no word in english for Na`at; for it is not a eulogy, not a sonnet, not a hymn, & not `glory hallelujas`. An extremely difficult genre)

A big loss to the lietrary world in general and urdu literature in particular. Besides a sensitive writer and poet, he was a great person as well.
