Gar puchh bethe koii ke, pata kya hai 'Feroz'
kah dena ek ujda hu'aa dayAr hai kisi sangdil ke dil ka,
(If someone asks, What is the address of Feroz, say, It's a deserted place in the heart a stonehearted one)
My name is Feroz Khan, and poetic alias is 'Feroz'. I was born in Ratlam M.P., on 26th March 1977. I completed my Ph.D. in Biotech from NCL, Pune.
I started writing shairy in 1998. Initially I started to write something like shairs without any rules, and then started to write short ghazals. I learnt about the rules and pattern of classical Urdu poetry during 2000, by reading some basic articles on the web and in books of poetry. Then I tried to make a ghazal with classical ghazal pattern but after a continuous effort of one month, I could not make even a single proper shair. When I tried to balance the meter (bahar) of shair, I could not bring out the meaning of the sair, and when the meaning was brought out the words in shair got un-weighted (un-metered or out of bahar). I gave up poetry, thinking that it is not possible for me to write a proper sher. But one day, a shair came to my mind, I checked it, I realized, it was perfectly weighted. Then, I thought of making a complete ghazal on that sher. After efforts of a week I made a five couplet ghazal, i.e. 'zindagi ye bata tu kahan mein kahan'.
Now, in that collection, the no of all types of poems is 40. I included only those which are properly structured, as per the rules of poetry.
