Daya shankar naseem biography for kids
Pandit Daya Shankar Naseem was born in in Lucknow. He belonged to a respected and educated family of Pandits, so he too had a keen interest in literature. After receiving the necessary education, he became a clerk in the royal army and probably held a post in the finance department. This was the time of Ghazi-ud-Din Haider and Naseer-ud-Din Haider Nawabin Awadh. This was a time when Lucknow was intoxicated with its comforts and luxuries. Naseem achieved the zenith of his literary tastes by coming under the wing of Khawaja Haider Ali Atash. Atash's status is prominent among the Ustads of Urdu who did a great job of reforming, refining and renewing the Urdu language and continued the work of spreading the language by involving the students in their work. Almost all of his disciples went on to become big names in one genre or the other of poetry. Pandit Daya Shankar also traditionally experimented with ghazals in the beginning.
But Ghazal could not contain the breadth of his imagination. The real essence of his abilities is revealed in Masnavi. Masnavi "Gulzar Naseem” gave him lasting fame and this is the Masnavi which has the honor of representing Lucknow school of poetry. The story presented in the Masnavi is not his original. This story was written by Ezzatullah Bengali in Persian. At the request of John Gill Christ, Nihal Chand Lahori translated this story into Urdu for Fort William College and then Naseem composed it in the form of Masnavi.
This story is more complicated than the stories of other romantic Masnavi in Urdu. Since the whole story is fictional, imaginary and magical, Naseem has wonderfully used the phrases, style of expression, literal discount and other literary techniques. It is said that this Masnavi of Naseem was very long in the beginning. When Atash was shown for poetic-proofing, he gave the first corrective advice that it should be shortened so that the readers could read the entire Masnavi in one sitting without any difficulty. Thus Nassim (Arabic: نسیم) also transliterated as Nacim, Naseem, Nasseem, Nasim, Nesim or Nessim, is a unisex name meaning "gentle breeze, fresh air" . It is mostly used in Middle Eastern and South Asian cultures and language groups. It may refer to: . .Nasim
