Anup Jalota Steals Hearts As Bahar-E-Urdu 2025 Concludes In Splendour At Dome SVP Stadium

As the golden lights shimmered inside Dome SVP Stadium, the grand finale of Bahar-E-Urdu 2025 unfolded — marking 50 glorious years of the Maharashtra Urdu Sahitya Academy. The evening was a breathtaking celebration of words, wit, and the warmth of a language that continues to define India’s cultural conscience.

The day began with youthful exuberance at the Inter-Collegiate Bait Baazi, where young poets from across Maharashtra paid tribute to the legends of Urdu through verses that sang of love, longing, and laughter. Hosted by Shamim Iqbal Momin and Mukhlis Madoo, the competition proved that Urdu’s legacy rests safe in the hands — and hearts — of the next generation.

A poignant theatrical presentation, Zameen Ka Ek Tukda by Iqbal Niyazi, followed — its narrative laced with emotion, echoing themes of belonging and humanity.

Laughter found its moment through Hasya Kavi Kaleem Samar, whose humour shone with linguistic brilliance, while Monika Singh, Additional Collector, Solapur, lent grace and gravitas with her evocative shayari.

And then came the night’s divine crescendo.

Anup Jalota, the maestro of melody, took the stage — and with each ghazal, filled the Dome with reverence and nostalgia. His voice was a bridge between the classical and the contemporary, between devotion and desire. Reflecting on Urdu’s essence, he said, “Urdu is not a language you speak — it is the breath you take when your heart begins to sing.”

The celebrations deepened with the Awards Ceremony, hosted by Shekhar Suman and Priya Malik, honouring poets, teachers, journalists, and authors whose words have shaped the course of Urdu literature. Each award was not just a recognition — it was a bow to fifty years of commitment to culture and creativity.

Finally, Shabab Sabri’s powerful Qawwali resonated the Dome, adding the electrifying cresendo to the charged ambience.

And a the National Anthem played and the curtains descended, Bahar-E-Urdu left behind more than applause — it left behind a promise.

A promise that Urdu will continue to breathe through Mumbai’s veins, whisper through its poets, and rise once again — every time a verse is born.

انوپ جلوٹا نے باندھا سُر کا سماں، ڈوم ایس وی پی اسٹیڈکم میں “بہار اردو – 2025” کا شاندار اختتام

ممبئی : روشنیوں میں جگمگاتے ورلی کے ڈوم ایس وی پی اسٹیڈیم میں مہاراشٹر ساہتیہ اردو اکیڈمی کے 50 سالہ جشن “بہار اردو” کا شاندار اختتام عمل میں آیا ہے۔ سہ روزہ پروگرام کے آخری دن ہندوستانی ثقافت اور اردو زبان و ادب کا ایک حسین امتزاج پیش کیا گیا۔

 

بہار کا دو کے تیسرے اور آخری دن کا آغاز انٹر کالجیٹ بیت بازی مقابلے سے ہوا جس میں طلبہ نے مختلف راؤنڈس میں شعر و شاعری سے سامعین کو محظوظ کیا۔ یہ جہاں ایک مقابلہ تھا وہیں اس میں اردو کے مشہور شعرا کے ناموں پر بنائی گئی ٹیموں سے ان شعرا کو خراج تحسین بھی پیش کیا گیا۔ بیت بازی کے مقابلے میں شمیم اقبال مومن اور مخلص مدو کی میزبانی نے ثابت کیا کہ اردو کی میراث اگلی نسل کے ہاتھوں اور دلوں میں محفوظ ہے۔

 

بیت بازی کے بعد “زمین کا ایک ٹکڑا” کے عنوان سے ڈرامہ پیش کیا گیا جس کا بیانیہ جذبات سے لبریز تھا اور اس ڈرامے میں تعلق اور انسانیت کے موضوعات کی بازگشت بھی سنائی دیتی ہے۔ اس ڈرامے کی ہدایات اقبال نیازی نے دی تھی۔

 

ڈرامے کے بعد طنز و مزاح کے معروف شاعر کلیم ثمر نے اپنے مزاحیہ کلام سے سامعین کو لطف اندوز کیا۔ وہیں سولا پور کی ایڈیشنل کلکٹر مونیکا سنگھ نے اپنی خوبصورت شاعری پیش کی جس پر سامعین نے دل کھول کر دل کھول کر داد دی۔

 

شام کے اوقات میں معروف غزل گلوکار انوپ جلوٹا نے اسٹیج سنبھالا اور بہترین غزلیں پیش کی۔ انہوں نے کہا کہ “اردو وہ زبان نہیں ہے جسے آپ بولتے ہیں – یہ وہ سانس ہے جو آپ لیتے ہیں جب آپ کا دل گانا شروع کرتا ہے۔”

 

بعد ازاں شیکھر سمن، امتیاز خلیل اور پریا ملک کی میزبانی میں تقسیم ایوارڈ کی تقریب منعقد ہوئی جس میں اردو، شعرا، ادبا، صحافی، نوآموز قلمکار، لے آؤٹ ڈیزائنر، اساتذہ اور مصنفین کی خدمات کا اعتراف کرتے ہوئے انہیں ایوارڈ سے سرفراز کیا گیا۔

 

آخر میں معروف گلوکار شباب صابری نے اپنے مشہور کلام اور دیگر فلمی نغموں سے ڈوم ایس وی پی اسٹیڈیم اور اس میں موجود شرکا کو اس سرشار کر دیا۔ شباب صابری کے نغمات پر نوجوان سامعین میں قابل ذکر جوش و خروش نظر آیا۔

 

آخری میں قومی ترانے کے ساتھ مہاراشٹر ساہتیہ اردو اکیڈمی کے 50 سالہ جشن “بہار اردو” کا اختتام عمل میں آیا۔  بہار اردو کے تینوں دن نہ صرف اہلیان ممبئی بلکہ دیگر شہروں سے آئے ہوئے لوگوں نے نمایاں جوش و خروش نظر آیا ہے۔ یہ ایک وعدہ کہ اردو ممبئی کی رگوں میں سانس لیتی رہے گی، اپنے شاعروں کے ذریعے سرگوشی کرتی رہے گی، اور ایک بار پھر سے اٹھے گی – جب بھی کوئی شعر جنم لے گا۔

अनूप जलोटा ने बाँधे सुरों के मनके, बहार-ए-उर्दू 2025 का भव्य समापन डोम एसवीपी स्टेडियम में

जब डोम एसवीपी स्टेडियम की सुनहरी रोशनी शाम की नर्म हवा में घुली, तो बहार-ए-उर्दू 2025 का अंतिम अध्याय खुला — और इसके साथ ही मनाया गया महाराष्ट्र उर्दू साहित्य अकादमी के 50 सुनहरे वर्ष। यह शाम थी शब्दों, शायरी, सुरों और एहसास की — जिसने मुंबई को उर्दू की खुशबू में डुबो दिया।

दिन की शुरुआत हुई जोश और जज़्बे से भरे इंटर-कॉलेजिएट बैतबाज़ी मुकाबले से, जहाँ महाराष्ट्र के विभिन्न कॉलेजों के नौजवान शायरों ने उर्दू के अदीबों को अपने अल्फ़ाज़ से सलाम किया। मेज़बान शमिम इक़बाल मोमिन और मुख़लिस माडू ने इस मुशायरे को ऐसी रवानी दी कि लगा — उर्दू की रूह आज भी इन दिलों में ज़िंदा है।

इसके बाद मंच सजा इक़बाल नियाज़ी के नाट्य प्रस्तुति ज़मीन का एक टुकड़ा के लिए — एक ऐसी कहानी जिसने इंसानियत, दर्द और अपनेपन की दास्तां को संवेदनशीलता से पिरोया।

फिर मुस्कुराहटों की बारी आई, जब हास्य कवि कलीम समर ने अपनी ज़ुबान की नर्मी और लफ़्ज़ों की चमक से सबको हंसी में डुबो दिया। मोनिका सिंह, अतिरिक्त कलेक्टर, सोलापुर, ने अपने अशआर से शाम में नज़ाकत और नूर दोनों भर दिए।

और फिर — हवा में ख़ामोशी उतर आई।

अनूप जलोटा, सुरों के बादशाह, मंच पर आए।

हर ग़ज़ल, हर आलाप के साथ उन्होंने डोम को भक्ति, मोहब्बत और यादों के समुंदर में बदल दिया।

उन्होंने उर्दू की रूह को यूँ बयान किया  — “उर्दू कोई ज़ुबान नहीं, वो साँस है जो दिल के गाने के साथ चलती है।”

इसके बाद शेखर सुमन और प्रिया मलिक की मेज़बानी में हुआ अवार्ड सेरेमनी, जहाँ उर्दू के कवियों, शिक्षकों, पत्रकारों और लेखकों को उनके अद्वितीय योगदान के लिए सम्मानित किया गया। हर अवार्ड, उर्दू की आधी सदी की मेहनत और मुहब्बत को सलाम था।

अंत में शबाब सबरी की क़व्वाली ने डोम एसवीपी स्टेडियम को इबादतगाह में बदल दिया — जहाँ सुर दुआ बन गए, ताल सजदा बन गई, और उर्दू फिर अमर हो गई।

जब राष्ट्रगान की गूंज फैली और परदे गिरे, तो बहार-ए-उर्दू अपने पीछे सिर्फ़ तालियाँ नहीं छोड़ गया —

वो छोड़ गया एक वादा।

एक वादा कि उर्दू मुंबई की रगों में बहती रहेगी,

हर शायर की साँस में गूँजती रहेगी,

और हर बार फिर जन्म लेगी — जब भी कोई नया शेर लिखा जाएगा।

अनूप जलोटा ने बाँधे सुरों के मनके, बहार-ए-उर्दू 2025 का भव्य समापन डोम एसवीपी स्टेडियम में

This show was inaugurated on 14th October 2025 by Ms. Manju Ramesh Chouhan(Staff member of Jehangir Art Gallery) in the presence of Mr. Padmanabh Bendre(Eminent Artist), Pradeep Chandra(Eminent Photographer & Author), Mr. Uttam Jain(Patron Hindustan Chamber of Commerce), Mr. Snehal N. Muzoomdar(President, Indian Musicological Society), Mr. K.K. Tated(Chairman, committee to monitor Animal Welfare) among others.

VISTHAPAN

The dynamics of separation underlined with an inherent trauma informs Vishwa Sahni’s works that are at once dramatic and purposeful. It may be in the separation of families, lovers or the colossal migrations that the world is presently mired in, that all inspire Sahni to find rendition on canvas. On cursory viewing he appears to bring out only the pain and unhappiness that reflects these separations. However, there is a hopefulness when this artist assures us that deep in the heart and soul there is a binding that even in what seems an adverse situation. The growing fondness in the heart bearing the weight of the separation, stays faithful to the memory. The oils are very expressive as those who inhabit his canvas make their presence felt despite the haze they reside in. The haze they reside in screens them offering a sense of community binding as they huddle together in a shared condition, their existence never diminished.

For more than a decade now artists all over the world have expressed angst and anguish over the growing migration situation. The politics of migration has incessantly inspired all art practioners especially artists and poets. It all began in 2011 when more than 14 million Syrians were forced to flee their homes in search of safety from a violent government that had cracked down on the citizens following public demonstrations in support of teenagers who had been arrested for anti-government graffiti. The intense response to dissent and the heightened tensions surrounding freedom of expression resulted in forced migration, often leading to complex challenges such as mental health issues and the need for new protection frameworks. Historically artists are known to respond naturally to such intense situations using their art to illustrate the degenerating power dynamics of politics, human vulnerability, and border issues.

There is an undeniable arresting power in Sahni’s work. Matured over time Sahni has been exploring themes of exodus, displacement, and separation in his work, using an overriding haze obliterating identity to depict and focus on the hardships and experiences of refugee communities. They seem at times to exist within a discreet existence. Their shared journeys become an intimate binding. Family separations are a significant social feature he delves on. However the decision to re-partner after separation makes his work highlight the complex interplay between displacement and the experience of being separated from one’s homeland and living in a no man’s land situation.

Sixty one year old Sahni moved to Mumbai and has a studio in the northern suburbs. Coming from the bucolic hinterland away from open pastures in the midst of nature to a concrete maze his own migration speaks volumes of adjusting while attempting to establish roots. The route is always lined with the painful paves of yearning and longing. However since 2018 he has to his credit several solo exhibitions across the city, participations in group shows and artists’ camps. Migration toughens the body and soul while burying beneath all the anguish of separation and shielding deep within a warmth of the beginnings.

This show was inaugurated on 14th October 2025 by Mr. Brahmanand S. Singh(National Award Winning Filmmaker, Author & Mentor)

Bappa Maji of Kolkata sculpts sacred and animal forms using the Bengal Dokra tradition. He reinterprets mythological Vahanas in new materials. His art considers humans, animals, myth, and daily life, prompting viewers to feel respect and think.

Pravat Manna uses paint to change the canvas into a landscape of feelings, using oil, acrylic, and mixed media. Through layered compositions, he explores memory, identity, and humanity, using technical skill and personal symbolism.

Active since the late 1990s, Subrata Paul sculpts, often with bronze and wood, moving beyond mere replication to reveal the hidden energies of form. His sculptures communicate human feelings and interactions, using both old and new artistic methods.

Sudeshna Sil’s work reflects her sensitivity, influenced by Bengal’s nature and art training. Through watercolour, mixed media, and fabric, she portrays nature’s depth, offering escape from city life.

Sudip Biswas, a notable modern Indian painter, creates stories of quiet feelings, cultural remembrance, and tradition. Benaras and the Ganga influence his paintings, which combine abstraction and figuration. His recent awards highlight the impact of his work.

The exhibition also includes Tanmoy Hazra’s work, which is characterised by its expressive and innovative qualities and engagement with diverse materials, form, context, and meaning.

The six artists engage in a complex dialogue, rich with layers of myth and matter.

“UJJAL” presents a unique mix of artists, allowing art lovers to dive into modern Indian visuals that are both classic and forward-looking. We welcome everyone to experience these artworks at Jehangir Art Gallery.
