Dr.Ebadat Brelvi

This was the complete manuscript left by Dr.Ebadat Brelvi which was published by his wife Mrs.Fehmida Ebadat under the self explanatory title of ‘Maulana Hasrat Mohani .The authoritative book was launched after a few months of Dr.Brelvi’s death by Idara-I-Tanqeed-o-Adab in collaboration with the Pakistan Academy of Letters. In this book Dr.Ebadat Brelvi has highlighted various important aspects of Hasrat Mohani’s life, which includes his, personality, his way of recitation and experiences. Hasrat Mohani is held in the highest esteem as a Ghazal writer known as RAIS-UL-MUTGHAZZALEEN, passages from his poems are quoted in everyday conversation. However he was modest to the core, as he says himself:

“Hasrat bahut heh martaba-I- ashiqi buland
Ham ko to muft logon nein mashhoor kar dia”

As mentioned by Dr.Ebadat,

“Hasrat Mohani dwelled a new world in his poetry and tied up new ideas and rose up new topics. His way of presentation had
a differentiating simplicity. His distinguishing style gave a new turn to Urdu poetry and presented unlimited pen pictures, which
portrays the emotions and thoughts of an ordinary person. Mohani’s was a multifaceted personality. Entering the political arena
as a young man, he struggled all his life against the Raj.
All these specialties collectively made him an undisputed modern Ghazal writer.”
