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.&lt;a href="#fn1"&gt;[1]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But at least some of the poems that were published in &lt;i&gt;Gumāñ kā mumkin&lt;/i&gt; 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 &lt;i&gt;Gumāñ kā mumkin&lt;/i&gt;. 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 &lt;i&gt;Gumāñ kā mumkin&lt;/i&gt;. In a number of subtle and not-so-subtle ways, the pencilled draft differs from the first edition.&lt;a href="#fn2"&gt;[2]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To complicate matters further, another version was published in Shamsur Rahman Faruqi's literary journal &lt;i&gt;Shabkhoon&lt;/i&gt; 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 &lt;i&gt;Shabkhoon&lt;/i&gt;, and "Ai samandar" seems to have been the first poem that Rashed sent to have published in Faruqi's journal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These poems were given pride of place by Faruqi, and published in the opening pages of the issue. The &lt;i&gt;Shabkhoon&lt;/i&gt; version differs significantly from the &lt;i&gt;Gumāñ kā mumkin&lt;/i&gt; version, particularly in its very different layout, its punctuation, and orthography. In these ways it is also different from the pencil draft. But the &lt;i&gt;Shabkhoon&lt;/i&gt; version shares many passages with this draft which are not present in the first edition of &lt;i&gt;Gumāñ kā mumkin&lt;/i&gt;. 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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 "&lt;i&gt;dekh lekin abr ke aurāq-i kuhnah&lt;/i&gt;" ("But look: The cloud's ancient folios…"). But the opening "&lt;i&gt;dekh lekin&lt;/i&gt;" is struck out, and in its place Rashed has pencilled in "&lt;i&gt;āj kyonkar&lt;/i&gt;." 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, "&lt;i&gt;dekh lekin&lt;/i&gt;" is neither part of the &lt;i&gt;Gumāñ kā mumkin&lt;/i&gt; version nor the &lt;i&gt;Shabkhoon&lt;/i&gt; version of "Ai samandar," making it appear to be either a false start or a reconsidered experiment unique to this draft.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like the &lt;i&gt;Gumāñ kā mumkin&lt;/i&gt; version, the fifth stanza continues "&lt;i&gt;āj kyonkar abr ke aurāq-i kuhnah / bāzū-i derīnah-i ummīd par / dūr se lā'e &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;nirālī&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; dāstāñ &lt;/i&gt;[...]". However, in the fourth line Rashed has originally written "&lt;i&gt;dūr se lā'e hai&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;ñ &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;kaisī&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;dāstāñ&lt;/i&gt;," only to strike out "&lt;i&gt;hai&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;ñ" &lt;/i&gt;and insert "&lt;i&gt;nirālī&lt;/i&gt;." This line both begins and ends with a long-short-long syllabic pattern (&lt;i&gt;dūr se&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;dāstāñ&lt;/i&gt;), well-balanced with intervening syllables. Rashed seems to have preferred the assonance of "&lt;i&gt;nirālī&lt;/i&gt;" and "&lt;i&gt;dāstāñ&lt;/i&gt;" (both bearing the vowel &lt;i&gt;ā&lt;/i&gt;), but to fit "&lt;i&gt;nirālī&lt;/i&gt;" in he had to excise &lt;i&gt;haiñ&lt;/i&gt;, which would have unbalanced the metre. In the &lt;i&gt;Shabkhoon &lt;/i&gt;version we find that the line was still "&lt;i&gt;dūr se lā'e haiñ kaisī dāstāñ.&lt;/i&gt;" The next two lines, describing the broken ship of the moon afloat in the flooding night, are not found in the &lt;i&gt;Gumāñ kā mumkin&lt;/i&gt; version: "&lt;i&gt;chānd kī tūtī hū'ī kashtī ke takhte / shab kī tughyānī kī bāhoñ par rawāñ&lt;/i&gt; […]." Why these evocative lines were finally removed is a mystery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rashed seems to have been conservative in matters of spelling. He spelled the verb &lt;i&gt;guzarnā&lt;/i&gt; with a &lt;i&gt;zāl&lt;/i&gt;, reflecting its etymology, instead of increasingly current &lt;i&gt;guzarnā&lt;/i&gt; with a &lt;i&gt;ze&lt;/i&gt;. Similarly, in spite of living so long in Iran and reading and publishing so much modern Iranian poetry, he spells &lt;i&gt;ā'indah&lt;/i&gt; with a hamzah, instead of &lt;i&gt;āyandah&lt;/i&gt; with a &lt;i&gt;ye&lt;/i&gt;. Faruqi appears to have agreed with him, as he left these spellings undisturbed in &lt;i&gt;Shabkhoon&lt;/i&gt;, but in &lt;i&gt;Gumāñ kā mumkin&lt;/i&gt; they have been changed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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 &lt;i&gt;Gumāñ kā mumkin&lt;/i&gt;. 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="urdu"&gt;اے سمندر&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;اے سمندر،&lt;br /&gt;پیکرِ شب، جسم، آوازیں    &lt;br /&gt;رگوں میں دوڑتا پھرتا لہو&lt;br /&gt;پتّھروں پر سے گذرتے&lt;br /&gt;رقص کی خاطر اذاں دیتے گئے،&lt;br /&gt;اورمیں، مرتے درختوں میں نہاں،&lt;br /&gt;سُنتا رہا۔۔۔۔&lt;br /&gt;اِن درختوں میں، مرااک ہاتھ&lt;br /&gt;عہدِ رفتہ کے سینے پہ ہے&lt;br /&gt;دوسرا، اک شہرِ آئندہ میں ہے&lt;br /&gt;جویائے راہ۔۔۔۔&lt;br /&gt;شہر، جس میں آرزو کی مَے انڈیلی جائے گی&lt;br /&gt;زندگی سے رنگ کھیلا جائے گا!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;اے سمندر،&lt;br /&gt;آنے والے دن کو یہ تشویش ہے&lt;br /&gt;رات کا کابوس جو دن کے نکلتے ہی&lt;br /&gt;ہوا ہو جائے گا&lt;br /&gt;کون دے گا اس کے ژولیدہ سوالوں کاجواب؟&lt;br /&gt;کس کِرن کی نوک؟&lt;br /&gt;کن پھولوں کا خواب؟&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;اے سمندر،&lt;br /&gt;میں گنوں گا&lt;br /&gt;دانہ دانہ تیرے آنسو&lt;br /&gt;جن میں اِک زخّار بے ہستی کا شور!&lt;br /&gt;اے سمندر،&lt;br /&gt;میں گِنوں گا دانہ دانہ تیرے آنسو&lt;br /&gt;جن میں آنے والا جشنِ وصل نا آسودہ ہے&lt;br /&gt;جن میں فردائے عروسی کے لئے&lt;br /&gt;کرنوں کے ہار&lt;br /&gt;شہرِ آئندہ کی روحِ بے زماں&lt;br /&gt;چُنتی رہی۔۔۔۔&lt;br /&gt;میں ہی دوں گا جشن میں دعوت تجھے&lt;br /&gt;استراحت تیری لہروں کے سوا&lt;br /&gt;کس شے میں ہے؟&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;رات اِس ساحل پہ غرّاتے رہے،&lt;br /&gt;غم زدہ لمحات کے ترسے ہوئے&lt;br /&gt;کتّوں کی نظریں&lt;br /&gt;چاند پرپڑتی رہیں&lt;br /&gt;اُن کی عَو عَو چاند دورتک لپکی رہی!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;اے سمندر،&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strike&gt;دیکھ لیکن&lt;/strike&gt; آج کیونکر ابر کے اوراقِ کہنہ&lt;br /&gt;بازوئے دیرینۂ اُمید پر&lt;br /&gt;اڑتے ہوئے&lt;br /&gt;دورسے لائے &lt;strike&gt;ہیں کیسی&lt;/strike&gt; نرالی داستاں!&lt;br /&gt;چاند کی ٹوٹی ہوئی کشتی کے تختے&lt;br /&gt;شب کی طغیانی کی باہوں پر رواں!&lt;br /&gt;شہرِآئندہ کے دست وپا کے رنگ&lt;br /&gt;۔۔۔ جیسے جاں دینے پہ سب آمادہ ہوں ۔۔۔&lt;br /&gt;دست و پا میں جاگ اٹھے&lt;br /&gt;راگ کے مانند،&lt;br /&gt;میں بھی دست و پا میں جاگ اٹھا!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;اے سمندر،&lt;br /&gt;کل کے جشنِ نو کی موج&lt;br /&gt;شہرِ آئندہ کی بینائی کی حدتک آ گئی&lt;br /&gt;اب گھروں سے ۔۔۔&lt;br /&gt;جن میں راندہ روز و شب کی&lt;br /&gt;چاردیواری نہیں،&lt;br /&gt;مرد و زن نکلیں گے،&lt;br /&gt;ہاتھوں میں اٹھائے&lt;br /&gt;برگ و بار&lt;br /&gt;جن کو چھو لینے سے لوٹ آئے گی &lt;br /&gt;روگرداں بہار!&lt;br /&gt;اے سمندر۔۔۔۔۔۔&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stanza 1:&lt;br /&gt;Line 3 indented in 1st ed.&lt;br /&gt;Line 5 &lt;i&gt;guzarte&lt;/i&gt; spelled with &lt;i&gt;ze&lt;/i&gt; in 1st ed.&lt;br /&gt;Line 5 final comma omitted in 1st ed.&lt;br /&gt;Line 7 pesh on &lt;i&gt;suntā&lt;/i&gt; omitted in 1st ed.&lt;br /&gt;Line 8 comma omitted in 1st ed.&lt;br /&gt;Line 11 &lt;i&gt;ā’indah&lt;/i&gt; spelled &lt;i&gt;āyandah&lt;/i&gt; in 1st ed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stanza 2:&lt;br /&gt;Line 7 zer omitted from &lt;i&gt;kiran&lt;/i&gt; in 1st ed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stanza 3:&lt;br /&gt;Line 6 zer omitted from &lt;i&gt;ginūñgā&lt;/i&gt; in 1st ed.&lt;br /&gt;Line 8 &lt;i&gt;li’e&lt;/i&gt; spelled &lt;i&gt;liye&lt;/i&gt; in 1st ed.&lt;br /&gt;Line 10 &lt;i&gt;ā’indah&lt;/i&gt; spelled &lt;i&gt;āyandah&lt;/i&gt; in 1st ed.&lt;br /&gt;Line 11 pesh omitted from &lt;i&gt;chuntī&lt;/i&gt; in 1st ed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stanza 4:&lt;br /&gt;Lines 3 and 4 combined in 1st ed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stanza 5:&lt;br /&gt;Lines 3 and 4 combined in 1st ed.&lt;br /&gt;Lines 6 and 7 replaced with a new line in 1st ed.&lt;br /&gt;Line 8 &lt;i&gt;ā’indah&lt;/i&gt; spelled &lt;i&gt;āyandah&lt;/i&gt; in 1st ed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stanza 6:&lt;br /&gt;Line 3 &lt;i&gt;ā’indah&lt;/i&gt; spelled &lt;i&gt;āyandah&lt;/i&gt; in 1st ed.&lt;br /&gt;Line 7 final comma omitted in 1st ed.&lt;br /&gt;Lines 8 and 9 combined in 1st ed.&lt;br /&gt;Lines 10 and 11 combined in 1st ed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="#fref1"&gt;&lt;b&gt;1&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Batālwī, I‘jāz Husain. "Ākhirī majmū‘ah, ākhirī mulāqāt." in Rāshid, N. M. &lt;i&gt;Gumāñ kā mumkin&lt;/i&gt;. Lahore: Nayā idārah, 1976. p. ix. Batalvi does not mention the date of the meeting, but says that Rashed was living in Cheltenham after leaving the apartment he was renting in Chelsea, London. On the basis of the letters of congratulation in the Rashed Archive (box 1, folder 17), Rashed had retired in 1973. His addresses on his letters to his daughter Yasmin Hassan show that in January of 1975 he was living in Chelsea, but by the beginning of February 1975 he had moved to Cheltenham. Since Rashed passed away in October of the same year, he must have given the draft to Batalvi between February and October 1975.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="#fref2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;2&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; The final version of the poem is in Rāshid, N. M. &lt;i&gt;Gumāñ kā mumkin&lt;/i&gt;. Lahore: Nayā idārah, 1976. pp. 46-49.&lt;/div&gt;</text>

            <elementText elementTextId="10623">
              <text>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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;a href="#fn1"&gt;[1]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://gcuf.edu.pk/about/history-and-introduction/college-era/"&gt;According to the modern GCU Faisalabad's account&lt;/a&gt;, 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.&lt;a href="#fn2"&gt;[2]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="#fref1"&gt;&lt;b&gt;1&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Khalid, Anwar Mahmūd. "N. M. Rāshid, Lā’ilpūr meñ."

              <text>This is a typewritten copy, probably written on Rashed's typewriter, of the English translation that Safdar Mir and Rashed wrote of his poem "Izhār aur rasā’ī." The Urdu original of the first stanza shown above is as follows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="urdu"&gt;— مو قلم، ساز، گلِ تازہ، تھرکتے پاؤں&lt;br /&gt;بات کہنے کے بہانے ہیں بہت&lt;br /&gt;آدمی کس سے مگر بات کرے؟&lt;br /&gt;بات جب حیلۂ تقاریبِ ملاقات نہ ہو&lt;br /&gt;اور رسائی کی ہمیشہ سے ہے کوتاہ کمند&lt;br /&gt;بات کی غایتِ غایات نہ ہو!&lt;a href="#fn1"&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rashed sent a version of this translation to the poet Carolyn Kizer in 1966. In the accompanying letter (in the NMR Archive), he refers to it as "Safdar's rendering," indicating probably that Safdar Mir had first written a version that Rashed later corrected. He also notes in his letter that in that version Safdar Mir had left out one line, which Rashed provided for Kizer in red in the margin. In the present version there are no major omissions, though certain repeated lines have not been rendered. Kizer finally published a rendering of Rashed's poem—probably with the aid of Safdar Mir’s translation, which he had sent to her—in rhyming couplets, in her 1988 anthology &lt;i&gt;Carrying Over.&lt;/i&gt; It begins:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Paintbrush and lute-string or new modeling clay&lt;br /&gt;Are ways of saying what we want to say.&lt;br /&gt;But we, who once wrote of lovers coming together,&lt;br /&gt;How can we speak, now, of the whole world’s weather?&lt;br /&gt;What we would reach is always out of reach,&lt;br /&gt;The end of art is not the end of speech.&lt;a href="#fn2"&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Muhammad Safdar Mir (1922-1998) is now best known as a journalist who wrote for &lt;i&gt;The Pakistan Times &lt;/i&gt;and &lt;i&gt;Dawn&lt;/i&gt;, often using the pen-name "Zeno." He was also a poet, an actor, and a professor of English literature at Government College, Lahore. Two of his letters to Rashed have been preserved in our archive, as well as several newspaper articles by him on Rashed. Rashed recommended him to Kizer as an excellent translator, and a good poet and critic. Kizer did publish a rendering of one of Safdar Mir's poems, which she entitled "Elegy."&lt;a href="#fn3"&gt;&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="#fref1"&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Rashed, N. M. &lt;i&gt;Lā = insān&lt;/i&gt;. 1st ed. Lahore: Al-Misāl, 1969. pp. 86-87. For a published version of this translation, see Noori, Fakhar ul-Haqq. &lt;i&gt;Nūm Mīm Rāshid kī nazmeñ aur un kī Angrezī tarājim&lt;/i&gt;. Faisalabad: Misāl, 2013. pp. 262-263.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="#fref2"&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Kizer, Carolyn. &lt;i&gt;Carrying Over: Poems from the Chinese, Urdu, Macedonian, Yiddish, and French African&lt;/i&gt;.
