Talk:Anarkali
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm wondering if the Persian couplet on her tomb is correct. This may seem silly but in the linked video (which btw, I first saw on a Pakistani music show and had been dying to see again, thanks!), 5min 42secs into the video they show this couplet in nast'alīq:
تا قیامت شکر گویم کرد گر خویش را
آہ گر من باز بینم روئ یار خویش را
Only in the video, the "gar" is written گار. I'm not an expert or anything, but I think this would fit better as a rhyming scheme with the next line in the še'r : yār khwīš rā and thus more likely to be correct. But, then again, I don't know Persian.
Someone please add something on the Anārkalī Bāzār if you know anything about it (my knowledge is limited to the Teach Yourself Urdu book!). On google earth I found her tomb. So is the big dirt lot across the street the bazaar?
I am glad at least that Asif's 'Mughal-e-Azam' was added. Awesome film! Khirad 00:39, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for pointing that out! Indeed, in Persian کردگار (kirdigār or kerdegār) means "God." That was my mistake. I've corrected it. Again, thank you! --Kitabparast 05:43, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] YouTube links
This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it. Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed. I'm putting this message here, on this talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy. In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material that violates someones copyright. If you are not sure if the link on this article should be removed, feel free to ask me on my talk page and I'll review it personally. Thanks. ---J.S (t|c) 04:38, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
