About the author
Munir Niazi
32 books20 followersMunir Niazi (1928–2006) was an Urdu and Punjabi poet. He used to call himself Punjabi as Punjabi definition is cultural and geographical and most of his poetry also reflected the culture of Punjab.
He was born in Khanpur on 9 April 1928, a village near Hoshiarpur Punjab, India. He was initially educated at Khanpur and after the independence of Pakistan in 1947 he migrated and settled in Sahiwal, where he passed his matriculation. He earned an intermediate degree from S.E. College, Bahawalpur and a B.A. from Dayal Singh College, Lahore, Pakistan.
Munir Niazi launched a weekly, Seven Colours, from Sahiwal in 1949. He wrote numerous songs for films and made his name as the foremost movie song writer of Pakistan. He also wrote for newspapers, magazines and radio. In 1960 he established a publication institute, Al-Misal. He was later associated with Lahore Television and lived in Lahore till his death. Taiz Hawa Aur Tanha Phool, Jungle mein Dhanak, Dushmanoon Kai Darmiyan Sham and Mah-e-Munir are some of his Urdu publications.
In Punjabi he has published Safar di Raat, Char Chup Cheezan and Rasta Dasan Walay Tarey. His effective imagery conveys pictures in few words. He has experimented with poetic forms and has tried to create a new style, rhythm and diction in Urdu poetry. Innocence, mythology, nostalgia, dreams, eroticism, and romance are some of his most common themes. Selected English translations of Munir Niazi's poetical works were edited by Suhail Safdar and published in 1996.

Every word in this book is so apt and measured. It's a collection of beautiful ghazals and nazms. There are some books about which you feel that not a single letter therein has been unnecessarily used; this is one of those masterpieces. If you love poetry, pick it up.

Shayari bahut acchi hai. Munir sahab ko credits. Baaki galtiyan hain kitaab me, publication ki galti hai wo, jaun elia ki kitab is publisher se nikli thi usme bhi galtiyan thi. Shayari behtareen hain.

The book takes some time to grow on you. It starts in an umimpressive fashion but then slowly builds up to what Muneer has been known for.
Good read.
Ek cheel ek mumTi pe baithi hai dhoop mein
Galiyaan ujad gai hain magar paasbaan to hai. 🌸
