Interesting Information on hajv

Hajw (Lampoon), is a kind of poetry in which a poet expresses his anger against a person or a rival. Some people consider it to be a kind of Qasida. In Urdu, the practice of composing Hajw precisely started with Muhammad Rafi Sauda (1713-1781). He composed his Hajws in all genres of poetry like Qasida, Masnawi, Qita, Ghazal, Rubai, etc. Muhammad Hussain Azad writes in ‘Ab-e-Hayat’, that Sauda had a slave named "Ghuncha", who was always in his service and carried Sauda’s pen-case around him. Whenever Sauda was affronted with someone, he’d call out, ‘Arey Ghunche, laa to Qalam-daan, zaraa main is ki khabar to lun, ye mujhe samjha kya hai?’. Sauda wrote a variety of lampoons, some are charged with the bantering of rivals, some possessing accounts of moral mending, and others imbued with satirizing the political turmoil and financial misery of the times. Sauda also lampooned upon on an elephant and a horse. ‘Tazheek-e-Rozgar’, Sauda’s famous Hajw, centers around an incapable horse, that was actually a metaphor for the last days of the Mughal empire and hinted towards the political and economic catastrophe of that period.
