Naat 

Anis Ahmad Khan 'Anis'

The dictionary meaning of “Naat” is quality, praise, character or conduct. In a poetic term “Naat” is an Ode to and In Praise of Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) in which the character, qualities, conduct and inner and outer beauty of Prophet Mohammad are versified. In Holy Quaraan God has praised him. God has referred Prophet Mohammad as a boon for the entire universe. Naat traveled to Indian from Arabia Via Iran. Arabic leading Naat’s poets are M/s. Ali, Hassan Bin Saabit, Abdullah bin Rabava, Kaab bin Zuber. Persian leading Naat’s poets are Hafiz Shirazi, Saddi, Urfi Shirazi and Ghalib. Urdu leading Naat’s poets are Haali, Hafiz Jalandhri and Jigar Moradabadi. The afore said Urfi has said that it is a tough form of poetry Naat saying is like walking on the edge of sword.

I quote below one Urdu couplet of my Naat:

“Mere Qalam Bhi Sahibe Eiman Ho Gya
Naate Rasool Likh Ke Musalman Ho Gya”.
