The Poet: Abdul Hameed Adam عبدالحمید عدم (takhallus: Adam عدم) was born on 10 April 1910 in Punjab, India (in the part of Punjab which is in Pakistan now). Most of the researchers think that he was born in Talwandi Musa Khan تلونڈی موسیٰ خان, District Gujranwala گوجرانوالہ. However, in one of his own articles published in the ghazal number غزل نمبر of the literary magazine Fanoon فنُون from Lahore, he writes that: since my father was living in Lyallpur (now Faisalabad) in April 1910, my arrival (tashreef aawari تشریف آوری) took place there (translation is KhamoshTamashais).
He was so adept in writing poetry that he could complete a ghazal in a few minutes. The last three works were published following his death. His philosophy is of being patient and content in life and not make difficult for others by being greedy. The suffering and sorrows of the have-nots are expressed very efficiently and in a personal manner.
I have found autographs of some Urdu men of liter and Adam is also one of them. I thought I should share these autographs. You can read a little brief about Adam along with his autograph in Urdu. Here you go. Please let your mind speak if you have any comments. Your comments would be welcomed.
