46. Maulana Hasrat Mohani



Born1875
Mohan, Unnao, U.P., India
DiedMay 1951 (age 59)
Lucknow, U.P., India




Maulana Hasrat Mohani (1875–1951) (Urdu: مولانا حسرت موہانی) was a romantic poet of Urdu language, journalist, politician, parliamentarian and a fearless freedom fighter of Indian Sub-continent . His real name was Syed Fazl ul Hasan. He was born in 1875 at Mohan in Unnao district of U.P. India.
He was a brilliant and hard working student as well as a topper in his first state level exams. Later, he studied in Aligarh Muslim University, where some of his colleagues were Molana Mohammad Ali Johar, Molana Shaukat Ali, etc. His teachers in poetry were Tasleem Lucknawi and Naseem Dehlvi. A few of his books are Kulliyat-e-Hasrat Mohani (Collection of Hasrat Mohani's poetry), Sharh-e-Kalam-e-Ghalib (Explanation of Ghalib's poetry), Nukaat-e-Sukhan (Important aspects of poetry), Mushahidaat-e-Zindaan (Observations in Prison), etc. A very popular ghazal sung by Ghulam Ali, Chupke Chupke raat din... was penned by Hasrat Mohani.
Hasrat Mohani participated in the struggle for Indian Independence (end of British Raj); and was jailed for many years by British authorities. He was the first person in Indian History who demanded 'Complete Independence' ( Azadi-e-Kaamil) in 1921 as he presided over an annual seesion of All India Muslim League. He was not only a practising Muslim but also a strong supporter of the communist philosophy, as he could see that British could be possibly defeated by following its principles. Therefore, he was among the founders of The Communist Party of India. He was also imprisoned for promoting anti-British ideas especially for publishing an article against British policies in Egypt, in his magazine 'Urdu-e-Mualla'. Afterwards, unlike some Urdu poets, notably Josh Malihabadi and Nasir Kazmi, and many Muslim leaders, he chose to live in India rather than move to Pakistan after independence (1947)in order to represent left over Indian Muslims on various platforms. In recognition for his efforts, he was made a member of the constituent assembly which drafted the Indian constitution. But unlike other members, he never signed it since he saw hypocrisy towards Muslim minorities in it (he was a Muslim himself). According to Akhtar Payami: Hasrat's poetic genius has been acclaimed by many writers and critics. In the not too distant past (beginning and the first half of the 20th century), Hasrat, Jigar and Asghar formed a constellation of emerging poets in a crucial period of India's history. Major political developments were taking place in the subcontinent and the sun was about to set on the British Empire. As conscious members of society, poets and writers do not remain indifferent to the changes in their socio-political milieu. Not only India but the whole world was in a state of flux.
Maulana died on 13 May, 1951 in Lucknow, India.





Hasrat Mohani Memorial Society was founded by Maulana Nusrat Mohani in 1951. In Karachi, Pakistan, a Memorial Hall and Library have been established by Hasrat Mohani Memorial Society (Regd.) Every year, on his death anniversary, a memorial meeting is conducted by this Trust as well as many other organisations in India and Pakistan. Also Hasrat Mohani Colony, at Korangi Town in Karachi, Pakistan, was named after Maulana Hasrat Mohani.

Maulana Hasrat Mohani was born in 1878 in the middle class family of Syed Azhar Hasan in a small town Mohan in Unnao district, around 25 kilometers west of Lucknow. His ancestors Syed Mahmood Nishapuri came from Nishapur and settled in Mohan. He was a descendent of Imam Hazrat Ali Moosa (R.A.). He completed his primary education from a Maktab (traditional Madarsah) in Mohan and acquired the knowledge of Urdu, Persian and Arabic from his teachers, Miyan Ji Ghulam Ali Mohani and Miyan Ji Balaqi Mohani. In 1894 he passed his middle school from Mohan middle school and secured First position in entire state of Central Province. In 1899, he completed his High School from Government High School of Fatehpur with honors, was awarded a scholarship and joined Mohammedan Anglo Oriental College (MAO) Aligarh (now Aligarh Muslim University). He completed his admission in Inter College on 15th March 1899. When he arrived in the college, he was short in height, ,em>lagar badan, gandumi rang, uljhi uljhi darhi (beard), Kalabatuni topi, Char Khaney ka Angarkha, takhno se uncha pajama, old fashioned glasses, umbrella in one hand a paandaan in second. His typical appearance and style gave him a lot of attraction and a title “Khala Jaan”, which stuck with his name in Aligarh for a while. But very soon due to his caliber and attitude, he earned the respect of student community and became very popular and transformed from Syed Fazlul Hasan to “Maulana Hasrat Mohani”.
Prof. Babu Jadav Chandar Chakravarti, Dr. Ziauddin Ahmad and Sahebzada Aftab Ahmad Khan were among the college faculty and Theodore Beck was Principal of the college at that time. Syed Sajjad Haider Yaldaram, Maulana Shaukat Ali, Maulana Muhammad Ali, Khan Bahadur Syed Abu Muhammad and Zarif Dahri were among his contemporaries in the college. After few months of young Fazlul Hasan’s admission, Principal Theodore Beck died. He wrote a poem to praise Principal Beck on his achievements and love for the college.
Hasrat completed his Intermediate exam in 1901 and joined B.A with Arabic and Mathematics as Optional subject. He was a nationalist so once College Cricket team beat an English team and Maulana Hasrat Mohani led the celebration. Unhappy British establishment in the college had him rusticated. Maulana fought back and got re-instated but was not allowed to live in hostel so he moved to a rented place in Rasal-Ganj area of Aligarh city. During his college days he started taking interest in national politics which was also not accepted by College administration and he was rusticated again, but every time he fought for truth and came back to college to complete his education. In 1903 he completed his B.A. MAO College which was affiliated with University of Allahabad so he received a degree of BA from University of Allahabad.
He was an ardent supporter of Aligarh Movement and mission of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan. His personality was a true interpretation of the product of Aligarh Movement, what Sir Syed had dreamed years ago. The basic principle of Aligarh Movement was to follow your religion with full faith and integrity and at the same time take part in the individual and community growth to live a better life. Maulana Hasrat Mohani followed this principle in its entirety. From his early days to his last breath, he was an ardent follower of Islam. His participation in the freedom struggle of India, anti British establishment nature, social communism lineage never deviated him from his religious beliefs and practices. During his stay of 2 years in jail, despite of the hard work, he was observing Ramadan fast and regular prayers.




Hasrat Mohani and his wife Nishatun-Nisa Begum

Journalism and freedom movement
In 1903, he got married to well educated Nishatun-Nisa Begum. Maulana Hasrat Mohani started taking interest in literary and cultural activities from his middle school in Mohan and during his Aligarh life he proved himself to be a respected poet and few of his ghazals become very popular. His interest in Urdu journalism inspired him to start “Urdu-e-Mu-alla” in 1903 from Aligarh city. During this time he published few rarely available literary books and started studying literature and political science and became a pioneer in Urdu journalism. He made journalism and politics as his sacred mission and struggled for the causes of Muslims and other oppressed people of the society for his entire life.
In 1904, he attended Indian National Congress session as a delegate in Bombay. This was the time when Swadesi Movement was launched and Maulana Hasrat Mohani became an active participant in the movement. In 1905, he took active participation in All India Industrial Conference and became a campaigner of Swadesi Movement. He published several articles in Urdu-e-Mu-alla to support the Swadesi Movement. To promote the swadesi movement, he started a swadesi store which was run buy his beloved wife and due to their efforts, the store became a successful venture. In the political thoughts, he was a supporter of Bal Gangadhar Tilak and always criticized Motilal Nehru, Bal Krishna Gokhlay and other moderates of the party. In 1907 when, Bal Gangadhar Tilak left Indian National Congress, Maulana Hasrat Mohani followed him and he also left the Indian National Congress.
In 1908, he published an article in Urdu-e-Mu-alla and criticized the policies of the British rulers of Egypt. British Government prosecuted him and jailed him for 2 years. He was released in 1910 and re-started Urdu-e-Mu-alla. This was the time Aligarh Movement leaders started the movement to form Muslim University which will be an independent institute of Muslims of India and will be capable to affiliate other Muslim institutions. Maulana Hasrat Mohani took an active part in the movement and wrote several articles in Urdu-e-Mu-alla for Muslim University. His ideology and methodology to raise the issues of Muslims of India led to his house arrest in 1916. He did not obey the British orders so he was sent to Lalitpur Jail but soon he was released from there.
When it comes to bold and trenchant political writings, the three names that are usually invoked are those of Maulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad and Zafar Ali Khan. But much earlier than these three, Maulana Hasrat Mohani had suffered incarceration for his editorial independence. His Urdu-e-Mu-alla also appeared much earlier than Comrade, Al-Balagh and Zamindar. The Mu-alla had invited British wrath for Hasrat’s writings during the agitation on the Kanpur Mosque demolition, resulting in a security demand for Rs 3,000 under the Vernacular Press Act. It was sheer tyranny to demand Rs 3,000 from a press, worth little more than Rs 50.
Undeterred, however, he founded the Tazkiratush Shu'ra in place of the Urdu-e-Mu-alla. Throughout his life, Hasrat was in dire financial straits, but he consistently refused financial assistance from everyone. And his wife was made of the same stuff. While he was being held at the Baroda jail in Puna, in 1922, she declined financial assistance from Puna Muslims, saying, “If you are such admirers of my husband, then why not purchase his books? But on no account would I accept financial help.” Both Hasrat and his wife led a simple life. And she helped her illustrious husband in all possible ways – getting his books published, reading the proofs, looking after the press and running the Swadesi store.
In 1919, Maulana Hasrat Mohani participated in Muslim League Convention in Amritsar. In 1920 along with Maulana Shaukat Ali, Maulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar, Hakim Ajmal Khan, Dr. Mukhtar Ansari, Maulana Abdul Bari, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad and Dr. Kichlu met Lord Chelmsford, Viceroy of India. In annual session of INC in1921 at Ahmadabad, Maulana Hasrat Mohani was a member of the subject committee. During the meeting of subject committee and in open session he emphasized the need for complete independence and suggested starting a movement to achieve complete independence. Undeterred by his discomfiture at the Ahmadabad session of Congress, the Maulana included his proposal in his Presidential Address to the All India Muslim League on December 30, 1921. He suggested that complete independence should be announced from January 1, 1922, that India be declared a Republic, that it be named the United States of India. If Martial Law be imposed then guerrilla warfare should be launched against the British government. The Presidential Address was confiscated and Hasrat was prosecuted. The jury went for the defendant, but the Session Judge convicted the Maulana, sentencing him to two years’ rigorous imprisonment and putting him in a condemned cell. However, on a reference to the High Court, Justice Crump found that the Maulana was not “guilty of instigating and therefore abetting the waging of war”. Since the learned Judge found no incitement to violence in the Maulana’s Presidential Address, the earlier sentence was set aside and the Maulana was set free.
In 1925 Hasrat Mohani played a key role to organize annual convention of All India Communist Party in Kanpur. He was chairman of the reception committee of the convention. His association with communist never led him to deviate from his religious beliefs. In the same year, Ibn Saud attacked Hijaz (area of Mecca and Medina). This event displeased Maulana Hasrat Mohani and they formed “Anjuman Khuddam-e-Harmain” under the leadership of Maulana Abdul Bari Farangimahli and organized “All India Hijaz Conference” in Lucknow under its banners. In his presidential address Maulana Hasrat Mohani expressed his anger over the destruction and desecration of holy places in and around Hijaz. In 1929 he started a daily newspaper “ Mustaqil” from Kanpur. The newspaper did not survive for long but he continued publishing Urdu-e-Mu-alla. In 1935 he launched an independent party with the support of Shaikh Mushir Hasan Qidwai, Maulana Azad Subhani, Syed Zakir Ali and Syed Hasan Riyaz to promote Hindu-Muslim unity and mutual cooperation.
Maulana Hasrat Mohani presided over the annual session of the All India Khilafat Committee in 1923 and was elected President of the All India Muslim League in the same yaer. He was a zealous worker of the Muslim League and took a prominent part in its reorganization since 1936 and actively participated in the movement started by Muslim League to achieve the political emancipation of Indian Muslims and secure an honourable place for them in the socio-economic structure of India. Interestingly, it was at the instance of the Maulana that the All India Muslim League adopted “full independence” as its creed at Lucknow in 1937. The word, “complete”, had been dropped because, in view of being variously defined as Dominion Status, Purna Swaraj, as the Maulana explained, its interpretation had made the word meaningless. In the same year of 1937, Maulana lost his biggest support, his beloved wife Nishatunisa Begum.

In subsequent years, the Maulana was in the forefront of, first, the struggle for Pakistan, and, later, for the rights of the Muslims in the Indian dominion. In 1945, he was elected as a member of UP Assembly and member of The Constituent Assembly as a representative of Muslim League. After the birth of Pakistan, he stayed behind in India to face the aftermath and to safeguard the interests of Muslims in India. He was the lone member of the Indian Constituent Assembly who refused to sign the Indian Constitution. He asserted that at such a critical moment he could not think of leaving the Muslims of India in total despair. His struggle continued against injustice, poverty and ignorance. A person who had withstood the onslaught of British Imperialism his entire life in the present century did not give serious consideration to the threats, intimidations and insinuations. His memorable words challenging Sardar Patel, in the Constituent Assembly, will long live in the memory of future generations: “You should not think that Muslims are orphans today. I am here to defend their rights against all odds and will fight for them till death”.
Urdu literature
The other side of Maulana Hasrat Mohani’s life was his love for Urdu literature and poetry. His involvement with literature and journalism brought into sharp focus the loving man that he was who introduced a new trend in Urdu poetry, which was a mingling of the praiseworthy attributes of the schools of thought that existed in Delhi and Lucknow. The exceptional qualities of sincerity, forbearance, fearlessness, perseverance, patience and contentment which the jail life had developed in his character, are profoundly reflected in his poetry. He has left behind ten volumes of poetical works. His individuality as a poet is reflected in his poems throughout his career, but the best part of his contribution to Urdu Poetry was composed in jail, wherefrom each time when he was released, he used to bring out a volume of Urdu poems. Though he was not supplied with paper and ink in the jail, he memorized his couplets and released them to the press on the expiry of his term of imprisonment. He was the founder of the Modern Urdu Lyrics. He revived the lyrics in Urdu. He emphasized on depth of feelings and sincerity of thought, with the result that Urdu lyrics had become a mixture of unnatural and artificial picture of human life and brought about the renaissance of Urdu lyric. He concentrated mainly on the sincerity of thought and simplicity of diction; hence his poems paint the true but dignified sentiments of love and portray the multifarious phases of human passions. In this way, though Hasrat may be termed as a conservative lyrist, yet he infused a new life in its fast decaying body and after Mir may be classed as the best Urdu lyrist.





Maulana Hasrat Mohani has an individuality of his own and was the pupil of Taslim in the realm of poetry. He comes in the line of Momin Khan Momin and Naseem Dehlavi in respect of the type of his verses, but he carved out an independent course for giving vent to his sentiments. His main attributes are the purity of thought, simplicity of sentiments and simplicity of diction. Like Mir, Hasrat, too, passed a life of despair and anxieties, hence there is a spiritual connection between the two and the works of both reflect deep pathos. His poetry, according to Arnold, is the mirror of his life; hence, it has been much affected by his environments and portrays much variety of subjective phases of his many-sided personality. His poetry is mainly subjective and he has tried to avoid the objective colour which had crept into the works of Urdu lyrists of Lucknow. He has depicted numerous pictures of those turbulent times, giving a realistic touch to his poems. He founded a new School of Urdu Lyrics whose aim is to depict true human sentiments and reactions to his environments. He is the true product of his time. According to Mathew Arnold, "Literature is the mirror of life", and like the celebrated English poet Lord Tennyson, Hasrat too has been much affected by his environments. His verses are full of revolutionary thought, reactions and national aspirations of a person whose life was so stormy and turbulent. His lyric composed in the Faizabad jail, carrying the following couplet, is a typical instance in point:
Hai mashqi sukhan jaaree chakkee kee mushaqqat bhee
Ik turfah tamaashah hai hasrat kee tabee`at bhee

(Hasrat is continuing his hobby of composing verses side by side with the grinding of wheat. What a peculiar nature does Hasrat possess!)

Here is his another poem;

Ra'naa-ii men hissa hai jo Qabras ki pari ka
Nazzaara hai mas'hoor isi jalwa~gari ka
Raftaar-e-qiyaamat yuN'hi kya kam thi ke us par
Ik turfa hai fit'na tiri naazuk~kamari ka
Poshaak men kya kya shajari naqsh haiN dil~kash
Baa'is na yeh hi shauq ki hoN jaama~dari ka
La~rayb ke is husn-e-sitam~gaar ki surKHi
Moojib hai mire zuh'd ki 'is'yaaN~nazari ka
Baa~wasf-e-talaash in ki KHabar kuchh bhi na paa kar
Kya kahiye jo hai haal meri be~KHabari ka
Jab se yeh suna hai ke woh saakin haiN yaheeN ke
'Aalam hai 'ajab 'ishq ki aashufta~sari ka
Saath un ke jo aaye the hum Beirut se Hasrat
Yeh rog nateeja hai usi hum~safari ka

This ghazal was written aboard a ship, when Hasrat had visited Europe, stopping en route at some Middle East ports. The time is1939, just before the start of World War II.
His most famous roomani Ghazal is;
chupake chupake raat din aa.Nsuu bahanaa yaad hai
ham ko ab tak aashiqii kaa vo zamaanaa yaad hai
baahazaaraa.N iztiraab-o-sad-hazaaraa.N ishtiyaaq
