خیر یہوروی
افسوس ہے کہ گذشتہ دو مہینوں کے اندر اردو کے پرانے خدمت گذار خیر یہوروی اور نامور شاعر تسکین قریشی مرحوم کا انتقال کیا، خیر صاحب کی زندگی کا بڑا حصہ اردو کی خدمت میں گذرا، وہ برسوں انجمن ترقی اردو ہند سے وابستہ رہے، مولوی عبدالحق صاحب اور قاضی عبدالغفار صاحب مرحوم کے زمانہ میں ان کی حیثیت اسسٹنٹ سکریٹری کی تھی، وہ محض انجمن کے تنخواہ دار ملازم نہ تھے، بلکہ ان میں اردو کی خدمت کی لگن تھی، جس سے انجمن کے کاموں کو بڑا فائدہ پہنچا، ان کی کوشش سے بعض مقامات پر اردو کانفرنسیں بھی ہوئیں، صاحبِ قلم بھی تھے، اور کبھی کبھی ادبی مضامین لکھتے تھے، انجمن سے الگ ہونے کے بعد لکھنؤ میں میر اکیڈمی اور غالب اکیڈمی قائم کیں، جن سے حدیث میر اور مرقع غالب شائع کیں، باہر کے جو ادیب لکھنؤ آتے تھے، ان کو اکیڈمی میں مدعو کرتے تھے، اور بڑے شوق سے اس کے کاموں کو دکھلاتے تھے، ان کو جس پہلو سے بھی اردو کی خدمت کا موقع ملتا تھا، اس سے فائدہ اٹھاتے، اور انہوں نے اپنی بساط سے زیادہ اردو کی خدمت انجام دی، طبعاً بھی خلیق و شریف تھے، اﷲ تعالیٰ اس شیدائے اردو کی مغفرت فرمائے۔ (شاہ معین الدین ندوی، اگست ۱۹۷۱ء)
