Ibn e Insha

32 books172 followers
Ibn e Insha (Urdu: ابن انشاء‎) born in British India as Sher Muhammad Khan (Urdu: شیر محمد خان‎) is a renowned Pakistani Urdu poet, humorist, travelogue writer and columnist. Along with his poetry, he is regarded one of the best humorists of Urdu literature. His poetry has a distinctive diction laced with language reminiscent of Amir Khusro in its use of words and construction.
He migrated to Pakistan after partition and served at various government institutions including Radio Pakistan, the Ministry of Culture and the National Book Centre of Pakistan. He also served at UN for some time. This enabled him to visit many places, all of which inspired the travelogues he would then pen.
He died of Hodgkin's Lymphoma on January 11, 1978 in London and was buried in Karachi.

another amusing but highly informative travelogue from the literary giant thy name Ibn e Insha , his sense of humor has really lifted this travel diary of his to a literary classic. I wonder what would his observation about post revolutionary Iran had he lived to see it, sadly he died almost a year before Shah was thrown out.

ابن بطوطہ کے تعاقب میں ایک سفرنامہ ہے جس کے مصنف ابن انشاء ہیں ۔
یہ سفر نامہ مختلف ممالک کے مختلف ادوار کے سفر پہ مشتمل ہے ۔ اس میں جرمنی ، لندن ، جاپان ، فلپائن ، سری لنکا اور ایران کے سفر شامل ہیں!
اس کتاب میں مزاح کا عنصر اتنا زیادہ نہیں نظر آتا جیسا کہ انکی دوسری تحریروں میں ملتا ہے لیکن اس سفرنامے میں معلومات کا ذخیرہ اور تاریخ کے واقعات عمدگی سے بیان کیے گئے ہیں!
کچھ نیا سیکھنے کے شائق قارئین اس کتاب کو ضرور پڑھیں!

Absolute genius of Insha, you just can't stop laughing out loud while travelling around the world with the man. It's men like Insha and Patras who are an absolute benchmark for humor in Urdu literature.

ابن انشا کی بہترین بذلہ سنجی اور انشا پردازی کا شاہکار ہے۔ ایران کے اسفار پر مشتمل یہ سفرنامہ تاریخ کا بھی اچھا مواد لیے ہوئے ہے جو ابن انشا جگہ جگہ پیش کرتے جاتے ہیں۔ ہر واقعے سے ایک مزاح اور تفریح کا پہلو بہترین انداز میں نکالتے ہیں اور کہیں کہیں اپنے ہم وطنوں پر طنز کے نشتر بھی چلاتے ہیں اور منظم زندگی کے فقدان کا رونا روتے ہیں۔

کافی ساری معلومات پر مشتمل کتاب ہے - شروع سے آخر تک ابن انشا آپ کے چہرے پہ مسکراہٹ قائم رکھتے ہیں -
