- About Me:
- I write poetry in Urdu, Punjabi and English languages. Among modern I'm inspired by the poetry of Robert Frost, Rilke, Leonard Cohen, Michael Ondaatje, Erin Moure, Robert Priest, Majeed Amjad, Yazdani Jallundhri and Ahmed Nadeem Qasmi.
Some of my Urdu poems have been translated into German and English, as well. Love, society and spirituality are the recurring themes of my poetry. Three of my poetry collections have been published:
-Abhi Ik Khaa'b Rehta Hai (A Dream; Yet to Go!) Urdu poetry collection-published in 1992 & 2007.
-Neeli Raat di Chhup (The Blue Silence of Night) a collection of Punjabi poems & ghazals-published in 2002.
-Gehri Shaam Ki Bailein (The Vines of a Deep Evening) Urdu poems and ghazals-published in 2007.
- The collections of my short stories, literary interviews, English poems and translations are in the pipeline.
I've been editing a literary magazine "Fanoos" and a socio-political magazine " Bazgasht" in Pakistan. I've also worked with the Voice of Germany (Radio Deutsche Welle, Cologne) in Germany as a producer.
Presently, I'd been serving as the secretary of 'Halqa e Arbab e Zauq, Toronto-(a literary circle mainly for the writers from the Indian sub-continent) until June 08.
