His supporters proclaims him a “new age poet, credited with reviving Urdu poetry among young generation”. “But why only poet-politicians, and not novelists or story writers, questions a netizen adding that first, since poetry can be performed, staged and sung, the form comes handy for politicians, the great performers. A poem is accomplished by pressing just a few keys of the mobile phone,” comments another netizen.
According to CNS, another netizen claimed that Muzaffar Hussain Beigh, a luminary has established what a lethal weapon poetry could be with a politician.
“Not to write great poetry, but to achieve the poetic effect, and to be called a poet. He establishes what a lethal weapon poetry could be with a politician. Few leaders are content to be mere politicians. Many have felt a compelling need to break out into verse. Beigh is one such politician-cum-poet,” reads another comment on face book.
The long poem of former Deputy Chief Minister Muzafar Hussain Beigh titled, ‘Heartrending tale’ has appeared in a section of press as well as on social networking sites and since then it has become a centre of attraction for the people. Beigh in his poem has expressed the pain that parents of ‘disappeared persons’ are feeling and he has even drawn an agonizing sketch of two females who were allegedly raped and murdered in Shopian.
While addressing towards the ‘disappeared young men’ Beigh writes, “Meray Navjawan Dosto, Tum Kahan Chaley Gayey, Tumharey Ghar Ka Her Farad, Humasar aur Humdarad, Gee Raha Hai Is Liye, Umeed Ka Charag Liye (O’ my young friends, where you have gone, every member of your family and friend is living with a hope that you will come back)
While blaming leaders of Kashmir, Beigh writes that those who were our leaders turned out to be traitors and the only fault of the people is that they are born in this part of the world which is called Kashmir Valley.(CNS)
