\u00a0<\/strong>Khawaja Musadiq in an exclusive interview with Student Stories :
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1. What is poetry to you and how much important is it for our society?<\/h2>\n

Poetry to me is what it was to Wordsworth \u201cThe spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings.\u201d My emotions recollected in totality is poetry, to me. Poetry as a genre has been really influential to our society. It lets you feel what you couldn\u2019t even think of before. So, poetry is actually the drama of emotions and emotions are the most important part of humans.<\/p>\n

2. Which one was your first poem about and how did you come up with it?<\/h2>\n

Some years ago, me and my friend Ubair, contemplating over our motherland’s fate during war thought of writing something about what stays with most of the Kashmiris, till they are victimized to death. My first poem was \u201cParadise Lost.\u201d The name resembled to Milton\u2019s paradise lost, and so did the idea. Just that Milton talked about man\u2019s first disobedience and I\u2019ve mentioned man\u2019s persistent disobedience over the years.<\/p>\n

\"Khawaja<\/p>\n

3. Can you describe the time when you first realized that poetry was something you absolutely had to do?<\/h2>\n

I believe that we all are poets in one way or the other. We all feel, don\u2019t we? Just that, some of us have the capability of penning down whatever is felt. So, this goes back to the time I wrote my first poem. That\u2019s when I realized that I had something to contribute to the people. I had something in me, which could talk to people, about their own selves. I had something, which belonged to them. I had them, with me. All the time. That\u2019s when I decided that poetry is what shall happen to me, till I breathe last.<\/p>\n

4. How does a poem begin for you, with an idea, a form or an image?<\/h2>\n

A poem happens to me with an idea, a meagerly scanty idea. An idea, you would want to do nothing about. The idea happens first, followed by this sharp poem. This poem, so subtly sharp that you\u2019d want to give away your life for the same.<\/p>\n

5. There are many forms of poetry, among them which one is your favorite and which form do you mainly work on?<\/h2>\n

Poetry in any form should serve the purpose of relating to one\u2019s innermost thoughts and desires. This can and has come up in many forms till date, my favorite being the free verse. This literary technique I\u2019m talking of is free from all the rhyming patterns and any kind of meter. It employs no kind of jargon, yet providing artistic expression.<\/p>\n

\"Khawaja<\/p>\n

6. Is there any difference between the old age poets and the modern day young poets? If yes, what and which one do you prefer personally?<\/h2>\n

Differences in poetry have occurred because differences in eras happened. Victorian poetry was characterized by the struggle of working people, the Romantics emphasized on emotional and imaginative spontaneity. Today what we have is characterized by a self-conscious break with traditional way of writing. I prefer the one I\u2019m living in. For both the poetry and the survival has to go hand in hand.<\/p>\n

7. Among all poets whose work inspires you the most and why?<\/h2>\n

Poets are portrayals to me, wonderfully pictured portrayals of whatever the human contains or whatever contains the human, for that matter. My favorites are many, notably Agha Shahid Ali and Rumi. Every other portrayal has something extraordinary, but these two give me a very unique connect. They take me through the journey of their words, unveiling the most intimate details. Also Ubair , Mariya and Shah Sabia are little lesser known portrayals, but truly picturesque ones.<\/p>\n

8. What do you try to communicate through your poems?<\/h2>\n

I try to communicate through my poems, whatever surrounds or happens to us. Humans have this tendency of enabling themselves to feel that they can relate to something or someone. I try to make this happen. I cannot brighten somebody\u2019s pain, or lighten somebody\u2019s sorrow. What I can do is communicate to them, that they aren\u2019t alone. They have me or maybe several others like them. That\u2019s what I do through poetry.<\/p>\n

\"Khawaja<\/p>\n

9. Is there anything memorable you would like to share with us?<\/h2>\n

Poetry has given me memories, infinite. I remember meeting some really amazing people who are, because poetry is. I\u2019ve found them, through and only with poetry. These are the lesser known portrayals I talked about \u2212 Mariya, Sabia and people. Also, I remember sitting at my place once. My uncle talked of my poetry to my father to which he asked what do I write about. The retort my Uncle gave to my father brings the deepest smile to me, even today. \u201cHe writes good, but I don\u2019t really know what he writes about.\u201d Moreover this constant appreciation from people is what keeps me going.<\/p>\n

10. Where do you see yourself in the next five years?<\/h2>\n

Saying where I see myself in 5 years won\u2019t be fair enough, because this is something I see everyday. I\u2019m going to mention something that I dream everyday, a little bigger than yesterday. Every day my mind starts processing a thought into a poem, I see myself connecting with people, a little more than before. I wanted to write, because I wanted to tell people that whatever they feel isn\u2019t theirs alone. I wanted to make their dense bones, a little happier, a little lighter. This is what I want today. This\u00a0is what I\u2019ll always want. And I see myself doing the same, for the next 5 years, eternity and beyond, if at all that\u2019s even possible.\"Khawaja<\/p>\n

11. Any message you would like to give to others?<\/h2>\n

If I had a little life left and I was supposed to say one last thing to people, it\u2019d be this,” Poetry isn\u2019t something that is fiercely characterized by competition. Poetry is something that comes out of your soul, reaches out to the paper, forming beautiful patterns, communicating to whosoever reads the same. Poetry doesn\u2019t involve combative zeal, it involves the peace of oneself. Poetry involves souls, and souls don\u2019t compete. Bodies do.”<\/p>\n
