Yaadgar-e-Ghalib, Altaf Hussain Hali

 Ek sohbat mein Mirza, Meer Taqi Meer ki taareef kar rahe thay. Shaikh Ibrahim Zauq bhi maujood thay, unho'n ne Sauda ko Meer par tarjeeh di, Mirza ne kaha " Mai'n tum ko Meeri Samjhta tha magar ab maloom hua ke aap Saudai hai'n "


Makaan ke jis kamre mein Mirza din bhar baith'te uth'te thay woh makaan ke darwaaze ki chat par tha aur uss ke ek jaanib ek kothri tung-o-taareek thi, jis ka dar iss qadar chota tha ke kothri mein bohot jhuk kar jaana padta tha, uss mein hamesha farsh bicha rehta tha aur Mirza aksar garmi ke mausam mein 10 baje se 3-4 baje tak waha'n baith'te thay. Ek din jabke Ramzan ka maheena aur garmi ka mausam tha, Maulana Azurda'h theek dopahar ke waqt Mirza se milne chale aaye. Uss waqt Mirza saheb usi kothri mein kisi dost ke saath chausar ya shatranj khel rahe thay. Maulana bhi wahi'n pahunche aur Mirza ko Ramzan ke maheene mein chausar khelte huye dekh kar kaha " hum be hadees mein padha tha ke Ramzan ke maheene mein Shaitan muqeed rehta hai, magar aaj hadees ki sehat mein tarad'dud paida ho gaya "Mirza ne kaha " qibla! Hadees bilkul sahi hai,magar aap ko maloom rahe ke woh jagah jaha'n Shaitan muqeed rehta hai woh yahi kothri tau hai ".
