Though i come from Jalali, where Shakeb jalalvi was born but unfortunately i never heard about hin until i read about him on this site. I went through few of his Asha’ar and came to know that certainly he was a great shair.
There is such a strange similarity between Shakeb and Hardy. The pathos is palpable yet there is such sweet sorrow that one can not stop mis stream. And there comes a point when you want to explode to be able to feel the full spectrum of emotions and feelings but fail to do so.
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP.
While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors
Shakaib was no doubt a great poet. He died so young but his poetry is very mature and thought provoking.
