#ShairSalgirah

On 5th April 2011 I gave the idea of a hash tagged group to some friends who were fond of shayri and tweeting it.
On 6th April #shairoftheday  was born with
@dandiwakh  tweeting the first verse under the hashtag.
Later it was shortened to #shair  as it took too much space.
The handle @shairoftheday  was created in November  2011 along with this blogspot to take care of our growing family.

This week we invite everyone to share their favourite experiences in their #shair  journey .
It can be via their own lines, turban do or serious verse.
Via their favourites by friends

And it will culminate in a tarahi mushaira on Sat with the famous  misra Jigar Moradabadi

"Apni apni zabaan hai pyaare"

Everyone please  join in. You don't have to be worried about being precise. As long as we learn via fun it's fine

30th & 31st March : #shairsafar
Your personal  journey in # shair via your own verse or by verses or even prose  of others

1st April #tukbandi/ #mazahiya

Anything which fits into the spirit of 1st April. You can even write verses on your friends 

2nd  April : your favourite forms of Hindustani poetry
#MeriPasand
You tweet lines from your favourite form along with something about it.

 3rd  April : #myshair

Some observations &suggestions from #shair  meet in Delhi

1. It was observed that in trying to tag friends we invariably  sacrifice content.
Instead it was suggested that we only tag @shairoftheday handle.
That way we can read all the tweets on a given day there or by searching #shair  hashtag.
And in the space left  we add poets name & meanings of difficult words.
If you want your friends  to read just tag them by pressing rey to the sherr tweet and writing their names.

2. We MUST ADD name of poets
In absence of that it is taken to be by one tweeting. Also poets should get their due.

3. We can try and read some of the tweets made by others to avoid repetition  especially  of famous verses

4. Its my suggestion that we have some senior members to curate the handle once every month for a week. To be chosen by few of us. The first curator  will be @anandnama
That way we add freshness of thought.
Curator wilk make the schedule and lead the discussion  for that week.

5. We keep a simple and easy format during the week for maximum  participation  and on Sundays we experiment.

Anyone is welcome to send suggestions with #shersuggestion - dm it please

The misra is
The Tarahi Mushaira is a particular form where a misra is given, and poets compose their ghazals using that misra and the behar (rhythmic metre) of the misra. 
 make it a grand success

NOTE :

"Ye mulk humara hai, ye mulk tumhara hai"

The radio will be hai

NOTE :Radeef is the word/phrase that is repeated at the end of the second line in every shair. In your example, it'd be "yaad hai."
Both lines of the very first sher (matla), usually end in the same radeef.

Qaafia is the pattern of word(s) that rhyme and come just before the radeef in the second line of a sher. i.e. zamaanaa, dabaanaa, lagaanaa


chupkay chupkay raat din aansu bahaana yaad hai
ham ko ab tak aashqi ka wo zamaanaa yaad hai

baahzaaraan iztiraab-o-sadhzaaraan ishtiyaaq 
tujhsay wo pahlay pahal dil kaa lagaanaa yaad hai 

tujhsay miltay hi wo baybaak ho jaanaa meraa 
aur teraa daanton main wo ungli dabaanaa yaad hai

What is Tarahi Mushaira?

In Tarahi Mushaira one line (misra-e-tarah) of a ghazal is provided by the organizers and the participants write their own shairs based on the same.

Misra-e-tarah

Misra-e-tarah for this Tarahi Mushaira is provided by @AshishJog

"Ye mulk humara hai, ye mulk tumhara hai"

Participants are requested to tweet their shairs based on the above misra-e-tarah. The shair should follow the same Qaafiya, Radeed and Beher. Please add hashtags #Tarahi and #Shair to your tweets.

Qaafiya, Radeef and Beher of the misra-e-tarah are explained below.

Qaafiya - "Tumhara"

Participants can use both "ara" (such as humara, sitara etc.)  as qaafiya.

Radeef - "Hai"

Beher

The given misra is set in Beher-e-Mazaara Musamman Akhrab. The arrangement of Arkaan in this Beher is as follows-

Maf-uu-lu   Faa-i-laa-tun  Maf-uu-lu  Faa-i-laa-tun
2-2-1          2-1-2-2           2-2-1        2-1-2-2

"Saare jahaa'n se achchha Hindostaa'n humaara" by Allama Iqbal is  set in this Beher.
This is the poem by Ashish Jog from which the misra is taken.
The description is also given by him.
members who may need help please consult @gulrayys , @doctornayab, @ashishjog , @abidzaidi1 for any doubts on how to write a verse with correct qaafiya, radeef and beher
