Janab Mansur Usmani in my view .....Review

M with Famous Urdu shayar , Famosus nazim e mushayra Janab Mansur Usmani
                                                  A Review
As we know that the Art of poetic writing is a gift of god to the humankind it self, Ghazal primarily is an expression of the anguished love, but people like Meer Taqi Meer, Asad Ullah Khan Ghalib, Hasrat Mohani gave Ghazal a new dimension and it shifted to express philosophy in a new style. Janab Mansoor Usmani sahab is among one of them who stress upon the philosophy of individualism in his format of poetry, likewise in his poetry only romance have not a prominent place yet played a significant role with power and position of individual in all capacities. Mansoor`s poetry didn’t talk alone about the power of powerful but pointed the voice of weak in the same manner.
Janab Mansoor`s approach towards love is not similar with several other poet as his hero didn’t died in the remembrance of his love but get power to care about his self esteem and self respect although his poetry has influence of Ghalib, Shaad and Hazrat Ameer Khusroo but always contradict with the end of the narration,
Janab Mansoor put forward the historical events in romantic wisdom which creates his poetry as spiritual mystic verses.
Dua karo ki salamat rahe hamare kalum
Yazid e wakt ka hamko hisab likhna hai—
At some places Mansoor pointed out the faults of the great people in this modern era and this reality is not a circumstantial condition but a fashion of toady’s life as Mansoor noted
Havi hamesha farz pe masrofiyat rahi
Maa- baap ki bhi apne mai khidmat na kar saka—
Some times this honest person pointed out the reality of love and it’s after effects
As he wrote
Chhupti nahi hain apne chhupane se chahte'n 
Seene mai aag ho to bhadakti zaror hai,,, 
And some times it seems that a communist like Marx, Engles, August Comte or Lenin is talking to its people, the words are as follows
Ajeeb log hain kiston mai mar rahe hain magar
Kisi ke lub pe koi ahtjaj nahin
Wo dard uthata hai aksar jo zindgi ki tarha
Siwae maout ke uska koi ilaj nahi
Janab Mansoor`s personality is the mirror of several qualities as he not only took step towards the upliftment but also he suggest to wage war against the inhuman treatment 
Adab to karte hain hum bhi magar saleeke se
Sabhi se jhuk ke milen ye apna mijaz nahi
He commented on the religious clergies in such manner
Ab jang ho rahi hai ibadat ke naam par 
Kahne ko ahle dahre haram khariyat se hain

So at par Mansoor Usmani has a real gift of Almighty to put forward his multi dimensional thoughts in poetic style, might be possible that I am failed to adjudge his personality correctly but hope that one day a rightly guided person will explain the Mansoor`s qualities better than me
