Md Yeaqub

Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;Allamah Shibli Nomani (1857-1914 A.D) was one of the greatest luminaries who glittered on the literary 􀃶rmament</p> <div>of Urdu literature as well as Persian literature. He is an educational thinker, author, orator, Arabic scholar, Persian</div> <div>poet and critic of orientalists. Not only his contribution is on Urdu and Arabic languages, but he left his work on Persian language also.</div> <div>Moreover, he taught Persian and Arabic languages at Aligarh (M.A.O college) for sixteen years. He played an important role to write</div> <div>numerous articles and poetries on this language. ‘Shi‘r al-‘Ajam‘, a history of Persian poetry is his famous book written in 􀃶ve volumes. Once</div> <div>Maulana Hasrat Mohani quoted that if Shibli had devoted full attention to Persian poetry then it would have outshone all other famous</div> <div>Persian poets.</div>
