Ambri (poem)

"Ambri" (Western Punjabi: امبڑی) (also commonly known as "Mother") is a punjabi language narrative poem by Anwar Masood. It was inspired by a real event happened in 1950, in which Anwar Masood came across an incident when his one of students beats his mother to almost death while he was appointed as a schoolmaster in village nearby Kunjah. Written in a time span of a decade between 1962 and 1972 (by Anwar's own accounts). It was first published in 1974 in Mela Akhiyan Da, and a revised edition was published in 2007. It is written in a dialogue style with non-rhythmic scheme like Aik Pahar aur Gulehri of Allama Iqbal, except in pentameters rather than tetrameters.
