Karwan-e-Urdu Qatar (KUQ), an organisation working for the promotion of Urdu literature and poetry in Qatar, organised the Jashn-e-Rahat Indori and Aalami Mushaira 2018 recently. Many distinguished Urdu poets from Qatar, India and Pakistan participated in the function.
The participants brought to life the brilliance of Urdu poetry and captivated the large audience with their couplets, ghazals, and nazms that spoke of beauty, love, peace, struggle and the purpose of life. A large number of Urdu-speaking people who attended the gathering appreciated the poets for their fresh creativity.
KUQ General Secretary Mohammad Shahid Khan welcomed the guests. The event was chaired by Urdu poet Dr Rahat Indori. Indian Embassy Third Secretary Dr Mohammad Aleem was the chief guest while Majlis Farogh e Urdu Adab Qatar Patron Committee Chairman Mohammad Atiq was the guest of honour.
KUQ Chairman Azim Abbas welcomed the poets and thanked the executive members of KUQ for organising the event. KUQ President Ateeq Anzar presented the aims, objectives, methodologies and future plans of the KUQ and gave a brief talk on the life and work of Dr Rahat Indori.
Mohammad Shahid Khan invited Mohammad Farooque Asami, an active member of Karwan, to recite some verses from the Holy Quran.
KUQ presented mementos to the poets. A lifetime achievement award was presented to Indori with a cash prize of one lakh Indian rupees for his contribution to Urdu Poetry and Literature. A lifetime achievement award was also presented to Atiq for his persistent patronage of the Urdu cause in Qatar.
The event also marked the launch of a new book by Mohammad Shahid Khan titled Maulana Ali Miyan Nadwi (Yadon Ke Jharoke Se). Haseeb-ur-Rahman introduced the book and rendered a lighter touch to the author's efforts in summarising the life of the great Islamic scholar Maulana Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi.
