Three Tragic Voices of Urdu Poetry: Shakeb Jalali, Mustafa Zaidi, and Sara Shagufta

Introduction

Urdu literature has produced some of the most sensitive and powerful poetic voices in South Asia. Among these, three poets stand out not only for their remarkable work but also for the tragic way their lives ended. Shakeb Jalali, Mustafa Zaidi, and Sara Shagufta each brought a unique style and perspective to Urdu poetry, but all three died by suicide, leaving behind a legacy of unfulfilled potential and haunting verse.

Shakeb Jalali (1934–1966)

Shakeb Jalali, born Syed Hassan Rizvi, was a deeply introspective poet whose work explored themes of alienation, pain, and the search for identity. Despite his limited output, his ghazals and nazms resonated with an intensity rarely seen in Urdu poetry. On 12 November 1966, at the age of 32, Jalali committed suicide by throwing himself in front of a train near Sargodha. His poetry, full of raw emotion, has since become symbolic of the struggles of sensitive souls against societal indifference.

Notable work

Mustafa Zaidi (1930–1970)

Mustafa Zaidi, originally born Syed Mustafa Zaidi, was a celebrated modern Urdu poet and a civil servant. Known for his passionate and socially conscious poetry, Zaidi also wrote moving verses about love and betrayal. On 12 October 1970, he was found dead in Karachi, apparently from an overdose of sleeping pills. The circumstances of his death remain controversial, with some calling it murder, but the official narrative records it as suicide. His tragic end only deepened the poignancy of his poetry, which often reflected themes of disillusionment and heartbreak.

2. Garebaan
3. Zanjeerein

Sara Shagufta (1954–1984)

She wrote in urdu and punjabi.Sara Shagufta was a bold, confessional poet often compared to Sylvia Plath for her raw and unfiltered exploration of personal pain. She faced severe mental health struggles, turbulent relationships, and societal rejection. In 1984, at the age of 30, she hanged herself. Her poems continue to shock and move readers with their honesty and intensity, capturing the anguish of a woman trying to find her voice in a restrictive society.

2. Neend Ka Rang (both published posttumously)

اردو شاعری کی تین الم ناک آوازیں: شکیب جلالی، مصطفیٰ زیدی اور سارہ شگفتہ
تعارف
اردو ادب نے برصغیر میں سب سے زیادہ حساس اور طاقتور شعری آوازیں پیدا کی ہیں۔ ان میں تین شعرا ایسے ہیں جو نہ صرف اپنی منفرد شاعری کے لیے جانے جاتے ہیں بلکہ اپنی زندگی کے الم ناک انجام کی وجہ سے بھی۔ شکیب جلالی، مصطفیٰ زیدی اور سارہ شگفتہ نے اردو شاعری کو ایک خاص رنگ دیا، مگر تینوں نے خودکشی کر کے اپنی زندگی کا باب جلد بند کر دیا۔
شکیب جلالی (1934–1966)
شکیب جلالی، جن کا اصل نام سید حسن رضوی تھا، ایک گہرے اور اندر کی دنیا رکھنے والے شاعر تھے۔ ان کے اشعار میں اجنبیت، درد اور شناخت کی تلاش جیسے موضوعات نمایاں ہیں۔ کم تخلیقی دور کے باوجود ان کے کلام میں ایک ایسی شدت ہے جو اردو شاعری میں کم نظر آتی ہے۔ 12 نومبر 1966 کو صرف 32 برس کی عمر میں انہوں نے سرگودھا کے قریب ٹرین کے نیچے آ کر اپنی زندگی کا خاتمہ کر لیا۔ ان کا کلام آج بھی حساس دلوں کی نمائندگی کرتا ہے۔
مصطفیٰ زیدی (1930–1970)
مصطفیٰ زیدی، جنہیں سید مصطفیٰ زیدی کے نام سے بھی جانا جاتا ہے، جدید اردو شاعری کے ممتاز شاعر اور سرکاری افسر تھے۔ ان کی شاعری میں سماجی شعور، محبت اور بے وفائی کے موضوعات شامل تھے۔ 12 اکتوبر 1970 کو وہ کراچی میں مردہ پائے گئے۔ کہا جاتا ہے کہ انہوں نے نیند کی گولیاں کھا کر خودکشی کی، تاہم ان کی موت آج بھی ایک معمہ ہے۔ ان کا الم ناک انجام ان کی شاعری میں موجود دکھ اور مایوسی کو اور گہرا کر دیتا ہے۔
سارہ شگفتہ (1954–1984)
سارہ شگفتہ ایک بے باک اور اعترافی شاعرہ تھیں جنہیں اکثر اردو کی سلویہ پلاتھ کہا جاتا ہے۔ انہوں نے ذہنی اذیتوں، ناکام تعلقات اور سماجی دباؤ کا سامنا کیا۔ 1984 میں صرف 30 برس کی عمر میں انہوں نے پھانسی لگا کر اپنی زندگی ختم کر لی۔ ان کی شاعری آج بھی اپنی سچائی اور شدت کے باعث پڑھنے والوں کو جھنجھوڑ دیتی ہے۔
نتیجہ
شکیب جلالی، مصطفیٰ زیدی اور سارہ شگفتہ کی زندگی اور موت ہمیں یاد دلاتی ہے کہ شاعری کی خوبصورتی کے پیچھے اکثر ایک بے چین روح چھپی ہوتی ہے۔ ان کے اشعار آج بھی ان کے اندرونی کرب کی شہادت دیتے ہیں اور یہ آوازیں آنے والی نسلوں تک گونجتی رہیں گی

poem Tees "Invisible pain" refers to the experience of discomfort, distress, or suffering that is not immediately apparent or visible to others. Unlike physical injuries or external wounds, this type of pain is often internal, emotional, or psychological in nature. Individuals experiencing invisible pain may be grappling with conditions such as chronic illnesses, mental health disorders, or psychosomatic symptoms that manifest without obvious external signs. This term highlights the subjective and often hidden nature of certain types of distress that individuals endure. Despite the absence of visible indicators, invisible pain can be just as debilitating and impactful on a person's well-being. Understanding and acknowledging invisible pain is crucial for fostering empathy, support, and appropriate interventions for those dealing with conditions that may not be readily apparent to the outside world. Invisible pain is a profound and often misunderstood aspect of the hu...
