Kapas Ka Phool; a Beautiful Short Story by Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi

Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi, (Performance), (Sitara-e-Imtiaz) (Urdu: احمد ندیم قاسمی) (November 20, 1916 – July 10, 2006) was a legendary Urdu and English language Pakistani poet, journalist, literary critic, dramatist and short story author. With some 50 books of poetry, fiction, criticism, journalism and art to his credit, Qasmi was a major figure in contemporary Urdu literature. His poetry stood out among his contemporaries' work for its unflinching humanism, and Qasmi's Urdu afsana (novel) work is considered by some second only to Prem Chand in its masterful depiction of rural culture. He also published and edited the prestigious literary journal Funoon for almost half a century, grooming generations of new writers. He also wrote many English poems and short stories. His poem The Feed is included in the syllabus of intermediate classes in Pakistan.
