An Article on Muneer Niazi and His Poetry

Muneer Niazi

Munir Ahmad, better known as Munir Niazi, (Sitara-e-Imtiaz) (1928–2006) was one of the best-known and admired Urdu poets from Pakistan who also produced good poetry in the Panjabi language.

Taiz Hawa Aur Tanha Phool, Jungle mein Dhanak, Dushmanoon Kai Darmiyan Sham and Mah-e-Munir are his popular 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.

I have got three articles about Niazi and his poetry and I am going to post one of them here. I hope you will like it. You can read the other two by clicking here and here.
