What was the impact of Begum Akhtar on Shahid life in the chapter the Ghat of the only world
Dear student,
Beghum Akhtar became an abiding presence in Shahid's life. he loved to listen to her sing and even enjoyed her company thoroughly. His passion for the ghazal as a verse form came from her interactions with her. His work on Ghazals in English came to be considered a benchmark for this form as it helped in formalizing the form and structure of ghazals. Beghum Akhtar's use of wit and wordplay also finds place in Shahid's poetry and his interactions with his pupils. The strongest bond between the two was the belief that sorrow can be masked in a lightness of manner. Shahid paid tribute to Beghum Akhtar and her craft in many of his poems.
Regards
