VIEWS OF CONTEMPORARIES: (the following prose has been translated from Urdu book “AARAA”)
SHAMSURRAHMAN FARUQUI: “…..I read your book hither and thither and enjoyed it. Your small book comprises of a prose part which specifies the venerableness of your poetry. Your autobiography impressed me a lot. You have the tradition of intellect and Godliness from the family of your mother and from that of your father as well and these two qualities are reflected in your poetry at a lot of places……..”
PROF. MUHAMMAD HASAN: “…….The prominent feature of your Ghazals is their uniqueness and presence of the beauty of colour of heart blood which has brought new pomposity in your Ghazals…..”
PROF. QAMAR RAIS: “……your love poems and lyrical style attracted my attention comparatively more. Mostly you have selected lyrical meters for your poems. At times the unpretentious and the simple way of conversation has put life in your poetry. In a lot of your couplets grief generates pain and agony in their reader.
DR. RAIS NUMANI: “……Toot tay Patton ka dukh” till the end is full of meaningful couplets. There are a lot of couplets which are eye catching and have the capability of being alive…….”
ZAHEER GHAZIPURI: “…….Shamim Hashimi is quite conscious about usage of words. He follows the discipline of words and has complete control over the creative usage of words and language. So by all the means he is an expert of Ghazals. Basically he is a poet of ghazals.
Poetry of Shamim Hashimi seems to be soaked in sobs and tears of night, the dew, which evaporates sketching diamonds on barks and flowers but leaves the shining sign of its existence.
Shamim Hashimi has ornamented his Poetry with words like flowers and thoughts like fragrance as he has deep connections with this category of literature…..”
NADIM BALKHI: “……..the main subject of the poems of Shamim Hashimi is Nostalgia which symbolises the complete inner and outer world
When you reach the depth of his Ghazals and try to feel the pain that the Poet feels, you would not find this just to be the pain of the Poet but the pain of the complete human society. You will also find the demonstration of the sense of right and wrong.
If we talk about the style of speech we find the poet conscious about it where he doesn’t ignore the traditional style and as far as modern style or innovation is concerned the Poet doesn’t go beyond the limits of modern style. Shamim Hashimi has great expertise in this category (Ghazal) of poetry……..”
SHABAB LALIT: “…..Shamim Hashimi is the narrator of the joy of grief. He is a reflector of his pain along with the grief of the universe and agony of the present. On the broad canvas of human life Shamim Hashimi has deeply felt and spiritually experienced the agony of present, unevenness of time and atrocities, decline and demolition of modest values. His Ghazals, traversing through the ups and downs of the paths of pleasure and agony of human life, enchant the reader in the beauty of seriousness. Alive and accepted over the periods is the poetry which is full of extracts of beauty and this quality is present in the poems of Shamim Hashimi. As a writer of realities he is the explainer of the highness of pain…..”
PROF. TALHA RIZVI BARQ: “…..I became fan of your God gifted poetic skills. Your artistic merits that, the beautiful way you have encapsulated the feelings, thoughts and imagination in your couplets, advocates your linguistic intellect, enviable command on language and words and the sober and attractive way of speech. The usage of traditional Hindi words has created “Khusruiyat”(ths style of Ameer Khusro) in your Ghazals…..”
