MirzaGhalib

MirzaGhalib

This beautiful Ibteda (the beginning) written by Gulzar for the TV serial Mirza Ghalib, sketches a vivid description to Ghalib’s house in Old Delhi, and uses the lafz ‘tarteeb’. To read the entire piece, pls refer to our blogpost here https://urduwallahs.wordpress.com/2011/11/04/asadallah-khan-ghalib-ka-pata-milta-hai/ 

Below is an extract from ‘Ibteda’.

Isee be-noor andheri see gali qaasim se
Ek tarteeb chiragon kee shuru hoti hai
Ek quran-e-sukhan ka safa khulta hai
Asadallah Khan Ghalib ka pata milta hai.

(Rough English translation – From this very dark (without any lights) lane, Gali Qasim, An arrangement (a string) of lamps begins, A page from the Quran of Poems turns, And one finds the address to Asadullah Khan Ghalib.)

Tarteeb-el-Baya is also a book, manuscript, or rather a lectionary of responses (Gospel responses and conclusion canons) and is quite large. Most of the responses are not translated into Arabic at all. It seems to have been the common practice of liturgical responses in the 16th to 18th centuries and has been abandoned in the current practice.
