Patna : Hundreds of youths on Monday staged protests at Rajendra Nagar railway station here against reduction of age limit for recruitment in the railways, leading to disruption of train services for some time, police said.

This is first time that youths staged protest at a railway station in the state capital, after reports of protests at various railway stations across Bihar over the last four days.

The protests against age limit reduction for Group D recruitments and reserving most of the seats for ITI holders in the railways came a day after thousands of unemployed youths protested at Rafiganj railway station in Aurangabad district, Athamgola station in Patna district, Muzaffarpur station and Hajipur railway station in Vaishali district.

In a bid to disperse protestors at Rajindra Nagar Terminal, the police resorted to lathicharge and beat up some of them.

The police also took into custody Chunnu Singh — the president of Bihar unit of National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) — for leading the protests.

The protesters shouted slogans against the Bharatiya Janata Party-led central government and carried placards that read “Hum pakoda nahi bechenge”, “Protest against surgical strike on railway job aspirants” and “Notify more jobs in railways”, among others.

Four detained in killing of Senior journalist Rajdeo Ranjan in Bihar

ranjanPatna (IANS) Four suspects have been detained in connection with the killing of a senior journalist of Hindi daily Hindustan in Bihar’s Siwan district, police said on Saturday.

The Bihar Police headquarters sent a Special Task Force (STF) and Special Operations Group to Siwan late Friday night.

“We will nab the people behind the killing and will not spare any one,” Bihar Police chief P K Thakur said.

Rajdeo Ranjan’s family said he had no enmity with anyone and was busy preparing for the last few days to celebrate his 17th marriage anniversary.

Coming close on the heels of the killing of teenager Aditya Sachdeva in Gaya district, the murder of the journalist has been described by opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as another addition to the fast mounting proof of “the return of jungle raj in Bihar”.

Legendary Urdu poet Dr Kalim Ajiz passes away

Patna: The legendary Urdu poet and Padma Shri, Dr. Kalim Ajiz passed away on Sunday in Hazaribagh, Jharkhan.He was 89.

Dr Ajiz was born in Patna district in 1920. He got his education from Patna University from graduation to doctorate. He also got his doctorate from Patna University for his thesis on “Evolution of Urdu Literature in Bihar.” This thesis is now available in a book form. He served as a lecturer for decades in the Department of Urdu at Patna University.

In 1976, his first book of ghazals was released by the President of India in Vigyan Bhawan, Delhi. In the ’60s and ’70s he was the only Urdu poet who represented Bihar in the Red Fort Mushaira held every year in Delhi on the eve of Independence Day.

The renowned  Urdu poets , Rahgupati Sahay Firaq Gorakpuri was a great admirer of Dr. Kaleem Ajiz. He sent his famous tape recorded words for Dr. Ajiz’s first book while he was lying on his deathbed in which he respectfully said he felt jealous of Dr. Ajiz because of the ease in which he could express his thoughts through his verses.

He said he loved Mr. Ajiz’s poems so much that whenever he heard him reciting his ghazals, he always forgot his own works.

Even in old age his heart was young and his shayri recited with exquisite tarannum was the rage of mushairas.  He literally painted beautiful pictures of beauty of flowers, hawaa, beautiful female form and tamanna in a most dignified and refined manner that the audience could relate to directly and lifted them out of depression.  In mushairas people waited for him to be called to recite and many demand were made to call.

For sure he was a classical poet and a master of words in the style of Jigar Moradabadi who brought out the distinction of Urdu vocabulary in taking imagination to high heights.  It was remarkable that in old age his imaginary and literary mind was so creative.  Unlike the modern times when most shayers talk about mazloomiat and zulm , and talk of helplessness, he retained the quintessential beauty of Urdu that is giving words to imagination such that listeners can enjoy it and regain optimism.

All great and classical Urdu shayers (Khumar Barabankvi, Qateel Shafaee, Parven Shakir, Ahmad Faraz, Habib Jalib etal) are passing away one by one and now Kaleem Ajiz sahib.

Dr. Ajiz used to avoid publicity despite the fact that he had thousands of admirers all over the world. For the last 10-15 years, he avoided mushairas as he believed their quality had gone down immensely and  became cheap and mediocre.

Ye deewaane kabhi paabandiyoN ka Gham nahi leNge

GarebaaN chaak jab tak ker na leNge, dam nahi leNge

Lahoo deNge to leNge pyar, moti hum nahi leNge

HameN phooloN ke badle phool do shabnam nahi leNge

Muhabbat karne wale bhi ajab khud_daar hote haiN

Jigar per zakhm leNge, zakhm per marham nahi leNge

SaNwaare jarahe haiN hum to uljhee jatee hen zulfeN

Tum apne zimma lo, ab ye bakheRa hum nahi leNge

Dardmand E ishq haiN, gham se na ghabraayeNge hum
Shaairy karte raheNge!!  aur mar jaayeNge hum


Hum to deewaane haiN humko maslehat se kya Gharaz
Apni chaadar se bhi zeyaadaa, paaoN phailayeNge hum


Ishq ki barbaadiyaaN, Qismat se hoti haiN naseeb!!
Jis qadar bigReNge utnaa hi saNwar jaayeNge hum


HoshiyaaroN ko mubaarak teri mahfil ae Khirad!!
Subh aayeNge tere dar par na shaam aayeNge hum


Apne aaNsoo hi jawaab E purshish E ahwaal haiN
Khud nahi samjhe to kya auroN ko samjhaayeNge hum


Ab ke phir barsaat meN ganj E shaheedaaN par chaleN
AasmaaN royegaa aur apni ghazal gaayeNge hum

Kaleja thaam lo roodad E gham ham ko sunaane do
Tumhein duk_kha hua dil ham dikhate hain dikhane do

Usi ke dam se thoRi raushni hai khaana E dil meiN
Bujhaate kyuN ho sham- E aarzoo ko jhilmilane do

Usi se tum kisii kii zulf ki roodaad sun lena
Udhar dekho wo deewaana chala aata hai aane do

Suna hai ishq ka me’raaj pinhaN hai shahadat me
Chhuri laao mujhe bhi apni qismat aazmaane do

Na dagh aayega apne daman E husn E tabiy’at per
Wafaa per mere jo tohmat lagate hain lagane do

Zamana sabr kar leta hai ‘Ajiz’ ham bhi kar leNge
Khalish dil ki miTa lene ke do aaNsoo bahane do

Yeh samundar hai!  kinaare hi kinaare jaao

Ishq har shakhs ke bas ka nahi pyaare jaao

YuN to maqtal mein tamashaayi bahut aate hain

Aaao us waqt, K jis waqt  pukaare jaao

Dil ki baazi lage phir jaan ki bazi lag jaye

Ishq mein haar ke abiTho nahi, haare jaao

Kaam ban jaye agar zulf junuN ban jaaye

Is liye us ko saNvaaro K saNvare jaao

Koi rastaa koi manzil use dushwaar nahi

Jis jagah jaao muhabbat ke sahaare jaao

Hum to mitti se ugaayeNge muhabbat ke gulab

Tum agar toRne jaate ho sitaare, jaao

Doobna hoga agar doobna taqdeer mein hai

Chaahe kashti pe raho chaahe kinare jaao

Tum hi socho bhal yeh shouq koi shouq hua

Aaj ooNchayi pe baiTho kal utaare jaao

Maut se khel ke karte ho muhabbat ‘Ajiz’

Mujh ko Dar hai kahiN be-maut na maare jaao

——–

Ye aaNsu be-sabab jaari nahi hai

Mujhe rone ki beemaari nahi hai

Na puchho zakhm-hae-dil ka aalam

Chaman mein aisi gulkari nahi hai

Bahut dushwar samjhana hai Gham ka

Samajh lene mein dushwari nahi hai

Ghazal hi gungunaane do K mujh ko

Mizaaj -e- talkh guftaari nahi hai

Chaman me kyuN chaluN kantoN se bachkar

Yeh aayeen -e- wafaadaari nahi hai

Woh aayein Qatl ko jis roz chaheiN

YahaN kis roz taiyyari nahi hai
