Folder 2: Articles written on NMR in various newspapers and magazines (clippings), English, and Urdu. 002. Digitized by Zahra Sabri. Catalogued by Zain Mian. Donated (2015) by Yasmin Rashed Hassan to the Institute of Islamic Studies, McGill University, Montreal. Article In 1969, Mohammad Safdar Mir (1922-1998) reviewed N.M. Rashed's Lā=Insān. Mir was a journalist, poet, and playwright, most famous for his work with The Pakistan Times, where he authored a weekly column under the name "Zeno." Mir worked for the Times from 1961-1977, before which he was a professor of English Literature at Government College, Lahore. He would later go on to write for The Muslim, MAG, and Dawn, before his eventual passing in 1998. Lā=Insān is Rashed's third collection of poetry. It was published by Munir Niazi's Al-Misāl Press in 1969. The publication of Lā=Insān formed a pivotal moment in Rashed's career. Following the lukewarm reception of Irān meñ ajnabī, Rashed was weary of being written off as a marhūm (dead) poet. Thankfully, his concerns were eased as Lā=Insān raised a storm in Pakistani literary circles ("Pākistān ke adabī halaqoñ meñ khāsī halchal machā dī hai!").<a href="#fn1">1</a> Rashed exclaims as much in a letter to his daughter Yasmin Hassan, which we review<a href="CLEAN_URL"> here</a>. Mir's review was one of many positive ones for Lā=Insān. A summary follows: <blockquote>Mir highlights the immense impact Rashed's Māwarā had on the sensibility of his contemporaries. He compares Rashed to Faiz and Miraji, and proclaims them the "holy trinity" of a new movement in Urdu literature. Mir notes that while Faiz's poetry remained traditional in its technique and Miraji's in its metaphoric structure, Rashed revolutionized both technique and allusive structure in his work. Mir admires Rashed's trenchant critique of colonialism. He notes that Rashed has expanded his political landscape to include "the entire Afro-Asian colonial reality." For Mir, it is Rashed's commitment to clearly-defined values that makes his work great. Mir notes that Rashed is committed to the notion of "cosmopolitanism" as opposed to that of "internationalism." He champions the inclusive humanity inherent in Rashed's work, and finds that Rashed's intensity has grown and his sensibility has mellowed. Mir notes that the introduction to Rashed's book takes the form of an interview he conducted with students of Urdu in the U.S. He mentions that while certain poems in the collection have appeared previously, most of the material is new and unpublished. It exhibits a "philosophical" mood and a "materialistic mysticism" that is in keeping with Rashed's style. He likens Rashed's desire "to see life in its totality" to that shared by Ibn al-‘Arabi and Rumi. Furthermore, he feels that Rashed's book will leave a lasting impression on the new movement in Urdu poetry, even as it does not retain the pure shock value inherent in Māwarā.</blockquote>This review was one of three Mir wrote in summer of that year. The others focused on Rashed's first two books, Māwarā and ;Irān meñ ajnabī, which had just been reprinted by Al-Misāl alongside the first edition of Lā=Insān. Indeed, it is possible that Munir Niazi himself requested Mir to review the Al-Misāl editions of Rashed's work. This seems somewhat more likely given the lavish praise Mir heaps on Niazi in his review of Māwarā. Not only does Mir write that Niazi should be "congratulated for making a bold venture in book production" but also that his edition of Māwarā makes the first look "almost pedestrian."<a href="#fn2">2</a> Niazi also attached Mir's review of Lā=Insān to one of his letters to Rashed, telling the poet not to worry about the kharīd o farokht (buying and selling) of his book.<a href="#fn3">3</a> These reviews were not the only times Mir wrote on Rashed. Mir was a prolific writer and given his inclinations as a poet, it is not surprising that we have extensive writings by him both on Urdu literature and on Rashed. The archive holds, for example, a copy of Mir's review of Rashed's appearance at the Halqā-i-Arbāb-i-Zauq, as well another describing the ceremony at the Pakistan Council on the 24th of May 1969, where Rashed's Lā=Insān was introduced. <a href="#fn4">4</a> <a href="#fn5">5</a> Plentiful evidence also suggests that Mir held a good working relationship with Rashed, and that the poet appreciated his work. Rashed and Mir collaborated on several translations together, an example of which is reviewed <a href="CLEAN_URL">here</a>. Furthermore, Rashed also forwarded some of Mir's reviews to the American poet Carolyn Kizer, recognising that Mir's reaction to the "new generation" of poets was worth noting. <a href="#fn6">6</a> Indeed, Rashed's recognition of Mir went so far that, in 1970, Rashed requested permission to translate some of his reviews in Urdu. To this Mir replied that it was "a matter of great honour" (‘izzat-afzā'i) that Rashed had requested his work. For him, there was no need for Rashed to have asked. That the poet did so in any case, spoke only to his own magnanimity and fairness.<a href="#fn7">7</a> <div><a href="#fref1">1 </a>Letter from N.M. Rashed to Yasmin Hassan, May 7th, 1969.

Digitized by Zahra Sabri. Catalogued by Zain Mian. Donated (2015) by Yasmin Rashed Hassan to the Institute of Islamic Studies, McGill University, Montreal. Article The modernist Punjabi poet Laeeq Ahmad Babree (1931-2003) is one of the most interesting lesser-known figures represented in the Archive. Babree was well-acquainted with the works of French modernists, and particularly with Baudelaire, whose Spleen de Paris he had translated by 1982 (as Paris kā karb). Babree had completed his Doctorate in French Literature at the University of Paris in 1968. After returning to Lahore, he became a professor of French at Punjab University. His correspondence with Rashed as preserved in the Archive begins in 1969. This letter to Rashed, written on February 28, 1971, appears to have been received by Rashed on March 6, 1971. In it Babree mentions the appointment of the psychologist Makhdum Muhammad Ajmal (1919-1994) as principal of Government College, and Ajmal's willingness to invite Rashed and Faiz Ahmad Faiz to an event at G. C. in March. He is in contact with Munir Niazi, who had published Rashed's Lā=Insān in 1969; as well as with Rashed's correspondent the Urdu poet Qayyum Nazar, who was the first professor of Punjabi at Punjab University. Rashed's and Babree's shared love of French modernism made for a warm correspondence, and Babree was able to use his academic position to give the admired modernist pioneer a forum to speak at Government College, which was then in its heyday. An abstract of the letter: <blockquote>Babree has received the programme of Rashed's upcoming trip to Pakistan. The principal at Government College is Muhammad Ajmal, formerly head of the Psychology Department, for whom Babree has words of praise. Babree has suggested to Ajmal that when Rashed comes in March they should invite him to Government College. Ajmal immediately agreed, and suggested that he should be invited for March 25th. Dinner would be given by Government College and Faiz Ahmed Faiz would also be invited. Ajmal must leave Lahore for a science conference around the 28th or 29th of March. Babree meets with Munir Niazi regularly. Two or three days ago there was a Punjabi majlis chaired by Munir Niazi. Babree believes that Punjabi is slowly being recognized as a language of the shurafā. Seven or eight years ago when he wrote his first Punjabi poetry, he was mocked. Now Punjabi has been established as a subject at Punjab University, with Qayyum Nazar teaching. Beginning tomorrow, Punjabi news will be broadcast over the Lahore-Rawalpindi-Multan national hookup radio. When Babree had sent Rashed his Punjabi poem "Pinghoṛe", Rashed had asked him about the word "tuhoṛ," which Babree will explain when they meet. He is sending a copy of his Punjabi poem "Gāhaṛ." His Punjabi collection Ghugghū ghoṛe is about to be printed (1971). There is an inside joke in the title. Qayyum Nazar has also received Rashed's letter. He no longer works for Pakistan Council; he now works for the Textbook Board.</blockquote> The collection of Punjabi poetry to which Babree refers, Ghugghū ghoṛe (Clay Horses), would be published a few months later on June 10, 1971 by the Majlis Shah Husain in Lahore. This book, which is rare in the West (<a href="http://mcgill.worldcat.org/oclc/499667398">the only holding appearing in Worldcat is in the British Library</a>), had a print run of 500 copies and sold for Rs. 300. Babree writes that the title of this collection, "Clay Horses," involved a hidden satire. A blurb pasted into the book suggests to us that the short symbolist poems it contained are each like small playthings. The symbol of the ghugghū ghoṛā or clay horse plays with the relation between silence, noise, and speech. "Ghugghū" alone means a hollow clay toy which makes a noise when blown into. But when referring to a person "ghugghū" indicates they are dumb or stupid. Thirdly there is the ghugghū ghoṛā, a mute, knobbly plaything of clay. A blurb pasted into Babree's book suggests the relationship between the title and the book: The short symbolist poems are the clay horses themselves. "Ghugghū ghoṛā" is therefore a description of Babree's poetry. How so? Supposedly poetry tries to communicate something to its audience. But Babree's poetry, in keeping with symbolist precepts, presents the reader with its mute texture and its sound, attempting to withhold the kernel of Meaning. Babree knew the symbolist movement well. Apart from his thorough familiarity with Baudelaire, another evidence of this is his participation in the Société de Symbolisme's May 1966 conference in Paris on "Symbolism and Language." We thank Babree's wife, Khalida L. Babree, for her kindness in providing us with a copy of Ghugghū ghoṛe, which has been deposited in the <a href="https://www.mcgill.ca/library/branches/islamic">Islamic Studies Library at McGill</a>, along with other materials to aid our research on Laeeq Babree, his literary work and his relation to Rashed.

Article From 1926 to 1928, Nazr-i Mohammad Rashed matriculated from the Government High School in Akalgarh, and passed his Faculty of Arts examination at Government Intermediate College (now Government College University) in Lyallpur (now known as Faisalabad). The principal of the college, Sardar Tara Singh, appears to have written this as a letter of recommendation for the young Rashed (who would have been 18 years old when this document was written). The college had evolved out of a high school in 1924. Akalgarh (modern Alipur Chattha), where Rashed had been born, had no college. Rashed was a "non-resident student" because his father Raja Fazl-i Elahi Chishti was posted to Lyallpur as Additional District Inspector of Schools from September 8, 1926 to September 27, 1928. Therefore he was able to live at home with his family while completing his education at the college.<a href="#fn1">[1]</a> <a href="http://gcuf.edu.pk/about/history-and-introduction/college-era/">According to the modern GCU Faisalabad's account</a>, Sardar Tara Singh was the third and then the fifth principal of Government Intermediate College Lyallpur from April 11, 1927 to January 8, 1928, and again from October 2, 1928 to December 7, 1928. From the letter it appears either that this account is mistaken, or that Tara Singh depended upon his former or anticipated status to subscribe himself "Principal." In the interim Rai Bahadur Manmohan was principal at the college.<a href="#fn2">[2]</a> As other items in the NMR Archive will show, the city of Lyallpur remained important to Rashed throughout his life, particularly since his sister Mumtaz and brother-in-law Chiragh Hassan, headmaster of M.B. High School, were resident there, as well as their sons Faruq and Aftab. <a href="#fref1">1</a> Khalid, Anwar Mahmūd. "N. M. Rāshid, Lā’ilpūr meñ."

Starting from the 2nd page, there is a difference in line breaks between draft and 1st edition, the lines "chānd kī tūtī hū’ī kashtī ke takhte/. kī bāhoñ par rawāñ" are shortened to "chānd kī tūtī hū’ī kashtī kī bāhoñ par rawāñ". Urdu. Box 2. Folder 14: Gumān kā mumkin kā likhā hū’ā aslī likhā’ī. 011. Digitized by Zahra Sabri. Catalogued by Zain Mian. Donated (2015) by Yasmin Rashed Hassan to the Institute of Islamic Studies, McGill University, Montreal. Article Rashed's poem "Ai samandar," an address to the sea, was published in his last, posthumous collection, Gumāñ kā mumkin, a complete draft of which exists in our Archive. Gumāñ kā mumkin, which Rashed in his lifetime simply called his "nayā majmū'ah" (new collection), was published through the agency of his friend the lawyer Ijaz Hussain Batalvi in 1976 from Nayā idārah press. Rashed made Batalvi meet with him in London in 1975, not long before his death. During this meeting, Rashed gave Batalvi a brown envelope containing the typescript of the book, with some corrections in his own hand.<a href="#fn1">[1]</a> But at least some of the poems that were published in Gumāñ kā mumkin had lives before their October 1976 publication. "Ai samandar" is one of these. The version that we have in the Archive was written by Rashed in pencil and is part of a nearly complete draft of the collection that would become Gumāñ kā mumkin. Rashed numbered the pages, although, as our researcher Zahra Sabri has noted, neither the numbering nor the order of the poems corresponds to the first edition of Gumāñ kā mumkin. In a number of subtle and not-so-subtle ways, the pencilled draft differs from the first edition.<a href="#fn2">[2]</a> To complicate matters further, another version was published in Shamsur Rahman Faruqi's literary journal Shabkhoon in September 1969. Faruqi had sent a letter to Rashed, preserved in the Archive, on May 22nd, 1968, soliciting his poetry for the relatively new Shabkhoon, and "Ai samandar" seems to have been the first poem that Rashed sent to have published in Faruqi's journal. These poems were given pride of place by Faruqi, and published in the opening pages of the issue. The Shabkhoon version differs significantly from the Gumāñ kā mumkin version, particularly in its very different layout, its punctuation, and orthography. In these ways it is also different from the pencil draft. But the Shabkhoon version shares many passages with this draft which are not present in the first edition of Gumāñ kā mumkin. This would appear to indicate that the pencil draft at McGill was written after 1969, but probably before Rashed handed his typewritten proofs to Batalvi in 1975. Rashed marked stanza breaks in the drafts by drawing a short line in the spaces between the bodies of texts to be separated. The number and order of the stanzas changed from version to version. The fifth stanza in this version contains some particular differences compared to the first edition. The reconstructed second line seems to have been "dekh lekin abr ke aurāq-i kuhnah" ("But look: The cloud's ancient folios…"). But the opening "dekh lekin" is struck out, and in its place Rashed has pencilled in "āj kyonkar." If Rashed at any point meant these words to be part of the stanza, they would have linked it more strongly to the preceding stanza. Oddly, however, "dekh lekin" is neither part of the Gumāñ kā mumkin version nor the Shabkhoon version of "Ai samandar," making it appear to be either a false start or a reconsidered experiment unique to this draft. Like the Gumāñ kā mumkin version, the fifth stanza continues "āj kyonkar abr ke aurāq-i kuhnah / bāzū-i derīnah-i ummīd par / dūr se lā'e nirālī dāstāñ [...]". However, in the fourth line Rashed has originally written "dūr se lā'e haiñ kaisī dāstāñ," only to strike out "haiñ" and insert "nirālī." This line both begins and ends with a long-short-long syllabic pattern (dūr se and dāstāñ), well-balanced with intervening syllables. Rashed seems to have preferred the assonance of "nirālī" and "dāstāñ" (both bearing the vowel ā), but to fit "nirālī" in he had to excise haiñ, which would have unbalanced the metre. In the Shabkhoon version we find that the line was still "dūr se lā'e haiñ kaisī dāstāñ." The next two lines, describing the broken ship of the moon afloat in the flooding night, are not found in the Gumāñ kā mumkin version: "chānd kī tūtī hū'ī kashtī ke takhte / shab kī tughyānī kī bāhoñ par rawāñ […]." Why these evocative lines were finally removed is a mystery. Rashed seems to have been conservative in matters of spelling. He spelled the verb guzarnā with a zāl, reflecting its etymology, instead of increasingly current guzarnā with a ze. Similarly, in spite of living so long in Iran and reading and publishing so much modern Iranian poetry, he spells ā'indah with a hamzah, instead of āyandah with a ye. Faruqi appears to have agreed with him, as he left these spellings undisturbed in Shabkhoon, but in Gumāñ kā mumkin they have been changed. Below is the poem as represented by the N. M. Rashed Archive draft in pencil, followed by a list of modifications occuring between the draft and the first edition of Gumāñ kā mumkin. While the changes in line breaks and punctuation may appear to be minor, it may be that Rashed saw them as altering the sound of the poem when recited. <div class="urdu">اے سمندر اے سمندر، پیکرِ شب، جسم، آوازیں رگوں میں دوڑتا پھرتا لہو پتّھروں پر سے گذرتے رقص کی خاطر اذاں دیتے گئے، اورمیں، مرتے درختوں میں نہاں، سُنتا رہا۔۔۔۔ اِن درختوں میں، مرااک ہاتھ عہدِ رفتہ کے سینے پہ ہے دوسرا، اک شہرِ آئندہ میں ہے جویائے راہ۔۔۔۔ شہر، جس میں آرزو کی مَے انڈیلی جائے گی زندگی سے رنگ کھیلا جائے گا! اے سمندر، آنے والے دن کو یہ تشویش ہے رات کا کابوس جو دن کے نکلتے ہی ہوا ہو جائے گا کون دے گا اس کے ژولیدہ سوالوں کاجواب؟ کس کِرن کی نوک؟ کن پھولوں کا خواب؟ اے سمندر، میں گنوں گا دانہ دانہ تیرے آنسو جن میں اِک زخّار بے ہستی کا شور! اے سمندر، میں گِنوں گا دانہ دانہ تیرے آنسو جن میں آنے والا جشنِ وصل نا آسودہ ہے جن میں فردائے عروسی کے لئے کرنوں کے ہار شہرِ آئندہ کی روحِ بے زماں چُنتی رہی۔۔۔۔ میں ہی دوں گا جشن میں دعوت تجھے استراحت تیری لہروں کے سوا کس شے میں ہے؟ رات اِس ساحل پہ غرّاتے رہے، غم زدہ لمحات کے ترسے ہوئے کتّوں کی نظریں چاند پرپڑتی رہیں اُن کی عَو عَو چاند دورتک لپکی رہی! اے سمندر، <strike>دیکھ لیکن</strike> آج کیونکر ابر کے اوراقِ کہنہ بازوئے دیرینۂ اُمید پر اڑتے ہوئے دورسے لائے <strike>ہیں کیسی</strike> نرالی داستاں! چاند کی ٹوٹی ہوئی کشتی کے تختے شب کی طغیانی کی باہوں پر رواں! شہرِآئندہ کے دست وپا کے رنگ ۔۔۔ جیسے جاں دینے پہ سب آمادہ ہوں ۔۔۔ دست و پا میں جاگ اٹھے راگ کے مانند، میں بھی دست و پا میں جاگ اٹھا! اے سمندر، کل کے جشنِ نو کی موج شہرِ آئندہ کی بینائی کی حدتک آ گئی اب گھروں سے ۔۔۔ جن میں راندہ روز و شب کی چاردیواری نہیں، مرد و زن نکلیں گے، ہاتھوں میں اٹھائے برگ و بار جن کو چھو لینے سے لوٹ آئے گی روگرداں بہار! اے سمندر۔۔۔۔۔۔</div> Stanza 1: Line 3 indented in 1st ed.
