Chapter Overview
Ghazal 2 of Class 9 Urdu features the magnificent classical ghazal "Sun To Sahi Jahan Mein Hai Tera Fasana Kya" (سن تو سہی جہاں میں ہے تیرا فسانہ کیا), composed by the illustrious master of the Lucknow school of Urdu poetry, Khwaja Haidar Ali Aatish. Celebrated for his dignified poise, vibrant verbal craftsmanship (Murassa-sazi), musical cadence, and resilient optimism (Raja-pasandi), Aatish crafts a verse that merges worldly aesthetics with profound moral wisdom.
In this exquisite ghazal, the poet muses on the echoes of human reputation, the vanity of superficial worldly architecture versus winning human hearts, and the supreme beauty of inner contentment and patience. Aatish's couplets radiate regal self-respect, philosophical serenity, and pristine linguistic melody without succumbing to despair. Students explore Lucknowi Ghazal traditions, refined word craftsmanship, figurative rhetoric (Sanaye Badaye), and rhythmic structural harmony (Radeef and Qafia).
For Punjab Board SSC Part 1 examinations, Ghazal 2 is of vital importance. It regularly features in board question papers for couplet explanation with reference to context (Hawala-e-Shair aur Ashaar ki Tashreeh), poet introduction, comprehension short questions, and objective MCQs. These solved ghazal notes, aligned with the 2026-2027 PCTB syllabus, equip students under Lahore, Rawalpindi, Gujranwala, Faisalabad, and all Punjab boards with comprehensive revision and exam preparation material.
