[1] go k sarf-o-nahw (grammar) ki fasaahat ke madd-e-nazar is sh'er meN "shaaq na thaa" ke bajaae "shaaq na ho" honaa chaahiye, magar phir bhi maiN is ist'emaal ko, aur sh'er ki mau'jooda shakl ko qaabil-e-qubool gardaantaa hooN. is ki do wajheN haiN -- awwal, sh'er ki zameen meN yeh ist'emaal khaptaa hi naheeN kisi hadd tak phabtaa bhi hai, aur doyam, is qism ke fiqre aajkal ki puraani dilli ki Urdu bolne waali saRkoN par 'aam ho chale haiN. lihaaza is ist'emaal ko mere nazdeek Ghalat-ul-'aam faseeh kaa darja de diyaa jaanaa chaahiye.

[2] miraaq: melancholia, ek aisi zahni beemaari jis meN dil par bechaini taari rahti hai, tarah tarah ke Khayaal dimaaGh meN aate haiN aur insaan har waqt pareshaaN.haal rahtaa hai.
