Dr. Anis Nagi (Urdu: انیس ناگی) is a Pakistani poet, novelist and critic. He has retired from government service and is now living in Lahore, his birthplace.
He has done MA Urdu (Gold Medalist) from the University of Punjab and taught in Government College Lahore and Faisalabad some years. Later he passed the PCS and became an officer and leaved the teaching job. Now he is a 20 grade officer.
He has written many novels. It would be interesting to mention that his novels are composed by himself. He spends time on his computer composing his novels.
In his novel ZAWAL he tried to show a gradually brutally mentally and physically frustration of an old aged Bureaucrat. And he is quite successful in this regard. His other novels are also very famous especially DEEVAR K PEECHAY and MUHASARA have got a wide readership.
He has a nagitive personality that he does not accept many big fugers of Urdu and does not consider their work. Like Intizar Hussain, a big figure of Urdu Adab, is not a good writer in the sight of Anees Nagi. According to him Faiz Ahmad Faiz has only 30 words and he uses these words in his poetry. He accepts only Iqbal and Ghalib as poet and Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi as a good short story writer.
Krishan Chander is a useless Short story writer and Ali Sardar Jafri is also a useless Adeeb.Majrooh Sultan puri is, according to him, a third class poet. And the travelogues of Mustansar Hussain Tarar are rubbish.
Although he is a 20 grade officer of the government of Pakistan but he spends very simple life.
great...a legendary human
