Janaab Asraar -Ul-Haq urf Majaaz Lakhnavi ek shaayrana khaandaan se taalluk rakhte the.Unki bahan ka nikaah Javed Akhtar ke pita Janisaar Akhtar se hua tha.
Majaaz ki ye nazm urdu shayari ki behtareen nazmon se gini jati hai. Yoon to AMU se graduation karne wale majaaz ki ginti us zamane ke progressive shayaron mein hoti thi, par Delhi mein ek ameer shadishuda ladki se apne prem mein asafal hone ke baad we is qadar zindagi se hataash ho gaye ki sharaab aur shayari ke aalawa kahin aur apna gham ghalat naa kar sake.
Dekha jaye to Majaaz ki poori zindagi ka dard is nazm ke aaine mein sama gaya hai. Delhi se wapas Lucknow aur phir Mumbai mein kismat aajmaane aaye Majaaz ka jakhma itna hara tha ki unhein Mumbai ki chakachoundh kahan se pasand aati. So unhone likha

Par jab dil mein kisi ki bewafaayi ki chot ho to ye motiyon sareekhi timtimati raushani bhi seene mein tez dhaar waali talwaar ki tarah lagti hain. Na us waqt chaand ki chaandni dil ko sheetalta pahuchaati hai na khoobsoorat sitaron se pati ye aakaashganga hi dil ko shukoon de paati hai

Majaaz ka man bhatakta raha, kabhie maykhane mrin to kabhie husn ki mehfil mein. Pat har waqt vo mehfilein bhi kahan se mayassar hotin ! Agar koyi cheez humesha majaaz ke sath rahi to sirf akelapan, udaasi aur ruswaayi raat haNs haNs kar ye kahatii hai ke maiKhaane meN chal

Agar aap poori nazm aur Majaaz ki dukhbhari kahani se roobaru hona chate hain to yahan aur yahan padh sakte hain. 1953 mein film Thokar mein Talat Mehmood ne is nazm ko apni aawaaz dee aur phir Jagjit Singh sahab ne Kahkashan album mein is nazm ka kuch hissa behad khoobsurti se gaya hai.
