About The Book

مرزا رجب علی بیگ سرور کی کتاب "فسانہ عجائب" مختصر داستانوں کے سلسلے کی مشہور کتاب ہے،اس داستان کو دبستان لکھنو کی نمائندہ تصنیف کی حیثیت سے دیکھا گیا ہے ،فسانہ عجائب انیسوی صدی کی ان کتابوں میں سے ہے ، جنھوں نے اپنے زمانے کے ادب کو غیر معمولی طور پر متاثر کیا ہے ،اس کتاب میں اپنے عہد کی روح ہے ، اس داستان کی خاص بات یہ ہے کہ اس کا مزاج ہندوستانی ہے، اس کتاب کے دیباچے میں سرور نے میرامن اور دہلی دونوں کے متعلق جو کچھ لکھا تھا، اس نے باضابطہ اعلان جنگ کا کام کیاتھا، جب باغ و بہار کے آسان اور عام فہم اسلوب پر اس زمانے میں اعتراضات کیے جانے لگے تو انہوں نے اس کے مقابلے میں "فسانہ عجائب" کی صورت میں مشکل اور گراں عبارت لکھ کر "باغ و بہار" کی ضد پیش کی۔ اور اس زمانے میں خوب داد حاصل کی۔ بقول شمس الدین احمد، "فسانہ عجائب لکھنؤ میں گھر گھر پڑھا جاتا تھا۔ اور عورتیں بچوں کو کہانی کے طور پر سنایا کرتی تھیں اور بار بار پڑھنے سے اس کے جملے اور فقرے زبانوں پر چڑھ جاتے تھے۔" یہ ایک ادبی شاہکار اور قدیم طرز انشاء کا بہترین نمونہ ہے۔ اس کی عبارت مقفٰفی اور مسجع، طرز بیان رنگین اور دلکش ہے۔ ادبی مرصع کاری، فنی آرائش اور علمی گہرائی کو خوب جگہ دی گئی ہے۔

About The Author

Rajab Ali Beg was born in 1786 in Lucknow to Mirza Asghar Ali. he wrote under the pen-name Suroor. His early education took place in Delhi.In addition to Arabic and Persian language and literature, he was well versed in horse riding, archery, calligraphy and music. He had a good sense of humor and was a very sociable man. The circle of friends was very wide. There was also a friendly acquaintance with Ghalib.

It was around 1824 that Wali-ud-Din Ghazi-ud-Din Haider got angry with Suroor over something and deported him from Lucknow.This deportation was useful for both Suroor and Urdu prose because he moved to Kanpur and wrote fiction at the behest of Hakim Asad Ali, which made Suroor immortal in Urdu literature.When Naseer-ud-Din Haider ascended the throne, he forgave Suroor and allowed him to come to Lucknow. When the reign of Wajid Ali Shah began, he entered the court poets for fifty rupees a month.

In 1856, the kingdom of Awadh came to an end and the patronages were cut off. Syed Imdad Ali and Munshi Shivprasad helped for a few days but the failed uprising of 1857 created such conditions that Suroor had to leave Lucknow. In his later years he went to Calcutta for eye treatment. On his return from there he died in Banaras in 1869.

Suroor is the author of several books. The first and most important of these is ‘Fasaana-e-Ajaaib’ which was written in 1824. It centers around This book can be considered the antithesis of Mir Aman’s ‘Bagh-o-Bahar’.The author has parodized Bagh-o-Bahar and its author.
