How broken was Bahadur Shah Zafar when he said "Kitna hai badnaseeb Zafar dafan ke liye, do ghaz zameen bhi na mili kooye yaar mein"

حال دل کیوں کر کریں اپنا بیاں اچھی طرح

روبرو ان کے نہیں چلتی زباں اچھی طرح

Haal-e-dil kyun kar karein bayaan achi tarah

Rubaru unky nahi chalti zabaan achi tarah

–Bahadur Shah Zafar

Why should I explain the condition of heart in details!

The tongue doesn't work well, around them!

Jama Masjid is Arabic for “congregational mosque". Although some also say it originated from 'Juma Masjid' meaning 'Friday mosque' since Juma or Friday is when congregational prayer is offered. Constructed in 1650–56 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahān, the above Jama Masjid from Old Delhi and its courtyard stand on an outcropping more than 30 steps higher than the street, giving the mosque a commanding view of the surrounding area.

Jama Masjid continued to be the place of worship until the revolt of 1857 by Indians against British Power. This revolt was perceived by British as largely cultivated and instigated by Muslims inside Delhi's mosques. And for this reason after the revolt British took control of the mosque after imprisoning the last Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar and sending him to Burma. It was under this last emperor that Rani Laxmibai, Tatya Tope, Mangal Pandey and others fought the first war of independence. British many times thought of destroying the Jama Masjid but eventually used it as barracks for its sikh and European soldiers.

How easily we term Muslims as second class citizens in a country for whose freedom they fought so vigorously. What does that make us? What do we call those who betray their friends and helpers? Those who take help in their weak moments and crush when they get strong and better, what are they called?

Oh another thing. Freedom fighter Abul Kalam Azad delivered a speech from its pulpit during the Friday prayer of 23 October, 1947. The Partition of India was underway, causing massive population movements in Delhi. Azad implored the Muslims of Delhi to remain in India, and attempted to reassure them that India was still their homeland.

Night envelopes the city, covering it like a blanket. In the dim starlight roofs and houses and by-lanes lie asleep, wrapped in a restless slumber, breathing heavily as the heat becomes oppressive or shoots through the body like pain. In the courtyards, on the roofs, in the by-lanes, on the roads, men sleep on bare beds, half naked, tired after the sore day's labour. A few still walk on the otherwise deserted roads, hand in hand, talking; and some have jasmine garlands in their hands. The smell from the flowers escapes, scents a few yards of air around them and dies smothered by the heat.

I learned that there are historically rich families that aren’t rich today

Meet Sultana Begum:

She lives in a slum area of Howrah, India. She sells tea.

Now have a look at these pictures:

These monuments are made by Mughals.

Sultana Begum is the wife of the great-grandson of the last Mughal emperor, Bahadur Shah Zafar.

This is only for emperors, if you are going for Someone Else they have to have been an emperor at some point. So no Dara Shukoh or any of the queens. I might make a different poll for the queens if this takes off.

Don't vote on the basis of politics - they were all objectively bad people and this is a fun poll. Vote for who you think is the most blorbo and/or who you think you can fix etc.

یہ قصہ وہ نہیں تم جس کو قصہ خواں سے سنو

مرے فسانۂ غم کو مری زباں سے سنو

Ye kissa wo mahi tum jisko kissa khuwan se suno

Mere fasana-e-gham ko meri zabaan se suno

–Bahadur Shah Zafar

It is not the story you should listen from story-teller

One should hear my story of grief from my own tongue!

THE ANECDOTE OF GHUMMI KABABI..🤍✨ The culinary art has been most important art in the Mughal times. Shah Jahan liked to enjoy long courses of food and spent hours on darstarkhwan. The emperor would set out the portion of food for poor before eating. However after 1857 when Delhi fell to its most miserable condition every section of society from Royal to ordinary’s were tremendously hurt. The lost grandeur also meant complete collapse of economy & loss of patronage. After the exile of Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar , many of the chefs in the royal kitchen found themselves without patrons and set up roadside stalls in the walled city in order to survive. They sold delicious good on the roadside and on the steps of Jama Masjid. Of these cooks was Ghummi Kababi, described by Ashraf Subuhi Dehlvi in his book, Dikli ki chand Ajeeb Hastiyan. As long as Ghummi was alive no better Kabab were ever sold. Ghummi himself was a an entertaining man who single handedly tried to preserve Mughal legat. He had great skills to converse and narrate the memories of the beautiful past of Mughal grandeus of which he was a significant part. Ghummi would often mutter ‘ Aji woh din lad gaye jab khalil khan fakhta udaya kartey they’ The glory days have gone when all the lovers of spicy conversation and kababs would stand there the whole night. #mughalarchitecture #food #olddelhi #history #architecture #medieval #kabab #ghummikababs #history #culinary #culinaryarts #art #shahjahanabad #shahjahan #foodie #jamamasjid #mosque #stairs #instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CqJ0utbPZ_O/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Unlike what is popularly thought, this Sher is by Seemab Akbarabadi, and not by Bahadur Shah Zafar.
