اردو لغت نگاری کے بعض مسائل

  • Shamsur Rahman Faruqi/
  • August 21, 2016
Some Issues of Urdu Lexicography
Abstract

This article discusses some important issues of Urdu lexicography, i.e. the act of compiling dictionaries. The writer points out that no Urdu lexicon as of now has been comprehensively compiled using modern methods and principles of the discipline. For example the issues about the number of alphabets, their order, the meanings of words, different shades of synonyms, pronunciation, source etc. need attention. Most importantly, several words, now integrally a part of the language are ignored, thus showing that a complete and comprehensive work has yet not evolved.

        Poet, Author, Critic and Theorist
    

    
Shamsur Rahman Faruqi was a distinguished Urdu critic, poet, fiction writer, and theorist. His works span over different genres, from literary history and criticism to poetry and fiction. Considered an authority on llm-e bayan (the science of poetic discourse) and classical poetry, he was also a noted lexicographer. Faruqi’s book Ka’i Chaand the Sar-e Asmaan, written in 2006, has been hailed as a masterpiece of Urdu fiction. An English version of this book, called Mirror of Beauty, was published in 2013. He also translated his stories into English which are included in a book titled The Sun Rose from the Earth. He has also been credited with spearheading the revival of the Dastangoi style of storytelling in India. He was awarded the Saraswati Samman for his work She`r-e Shor-Angez, a study of the major eighteenth-century poet Meer Taqi Meer.
