A comparative study of Keats and Ghani khan
AOA
Both Keats and Ghani Khan have been found to be similar in so many ways particularly in their love for Beauty,Nature and the Eternal i.e God. Their philosophies regarding a strong relationship between Beauty, Truth and Love is uncanny and intriguing. For in their eyes Beauty,Truth,and Love all lead to the Eternal. To them all three are synonymous. This importance is all the more vividly seen in Keats "Ode on a Grecian Urn",which he ends with these significant lines that are now famous: Beauty is truth,truth beauty,that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know. This is also what Ghani means when in one of his verses he says: Husan de bas husan che hum Khuday ao hum janaan de Dey faani makan ke bal mashal da laa makaan de Yao da gulaab makh ke che khkaraa kom jawaboona dee Nishta yao hum nishta da mantiq pa kitaaboono ke" Dr. Salma Shaheen adds in the Foreword, " Ghani is a lover of beauty and nature. On the wings of his imagination he talks of romantic lands of happiness in palaces, of Laila, Wine, Masti and Music. But consciously he gives voice to the bitter realities that is why he is called by numerous nomenclatures like the poet of beauty and love and the Crazy Philosopher." Dr. Shazia Babar elaborates in her Thesis, " Both Keats and Ghani believed that man could reach divinity in this life on condition of losing one's selfhood and reach a place of complete happiness as Keats says: Wherein lies happiness? In that which becks Our ready minds to fellowship divine, A fellowship with essence; till we shine, Full alchemiz'd, and free of space. For both these two romantic poets love was the pinnacle of happiness. The main reason for the universality of appeal is that their message was love, which is a feeling that enjoys popular appeal with all ages and times. As Ghani says; Meena husan jor kree bya pre shee meena , meena Meena lewanay daa lewanay daa meena meena. In another occasion, Ghani scolds Mullah for his hypocracy and says; Da Mulah ebadat kasab Pasedal ao kenastal Da halwa pa armaanono Tal Allah Allah kawal Da Mulah meena ajeeba Da GHani ebadat meena Zaan janaan ke wrokawal." In another poem, " Pa Mardan March Da Baacha Khan",Ghani Khan presents a specticular scene of a Great Warrior without arms; Jung la de Mansoor rawaan Taup ao na tafang laree Taaj ye da azgho pa sar Mast laka majnoon rawaan Noom da Pukhtano gatee Zway de da Pukhtoon rawaan Nar daa da naraano Khan Tsa ghairat ao nang laree. Ghani Khan could not tolerate the sufferings of his family due to Bacha Khan's troubled ways of life. He said; Khpal ghamoona de laa lag dee ---- Da jehan ghamoona ghware Dase takht ba sa kre sa kre ------ Che pa shpa ao wraze zjare. Keats also felt the political turmoils and social tensions in the immediate environment in the core of his heart, which he has depicted in his poetry and letters. His poem "To My Brother George", and "On Peace" are true manifestations of these feelings. Regards |
