      Dear Riyaz Ahmad Khan, asak
      Kafeel Azar was indeed a good poet and had written some songs in Hindi films too. He was in my mind. But since I am doing this work single-handedly despite my 12-hour professional working hours, entries of a number of poets are taking time.
      Kindly do send information about Kafeel Azar and his pictures. I will make his entry in this directory. Besides, a detailed introduction will be placed on

    I am pleased to see the details of the names and works of some of the exisgting Urdu poets in India,
    but I am sorry to say that the older generations of Urdu poetry like Miraza Ghalib, Meer Taqi Meer, Halli, Faiz, Mohammad Iqbal who moved to Pakistan, have been completely ignored for some reasons
    I can only guess that the author of this page only presumed that all such poets ceased to exist after the partitiion of India as well. Very unfortunate that someone should try to bend the history too which is totally irrelavent and unfortunate presumption at best! If that is the case, I am highly disappointed with such a biased and unreasonable approach to our inherited literature of our great masters who had such an unparalled poetry which will stand out even the best of the present day poetry since that is our best inherited treasure, and needs to be preserved as best as any other traditional treasure in our Independent India at all costs.

    India’s old traditions must be preserved as they were and are sacred even today. I am at a great loss why even someone should think of cutting out our past from the great literary work of all times. Internet is the right forum for all of present and future generations and without they they do deserve a place of honor as a part of our entire history irrespective of partition of the country or for any other reason whatssoever.
    India is a free country and the great Urdu poetry is our legacy for all us to maintain it as it is, and no one
    can be allowed to change that for any reason whatsoever. We are Indians first and last and no one change that perspective. Above every thing else we are still alive and thriving as an essemtial part of the system as it continues to grow and develop. As Indians we have strived to grow as a nation despite all the
    misfortunes and turbulations beyond our control. I do believe we are and still continue to be blessed by God almighty.
    I would definitely like and want to make another listing of our great forerunners for having blessed us with this great gift of Urdu language which we are but obliged to continue our great harritage and give our best regards and honor by bringing them back into the stream of our consciousness.

    I would thus like like to make a request to the academia and other famous litrary people with interest in Urdu poetry to please contact me with their input as best as they can and send me their proposals as a follow up measure to help to help develop further to bring it in line with our future growth. I will await your positive response at my e-mail address which is: paulsvij@yahoo.com for which I will be ever grateful.

    With my best regards, Paul S. Vij

    A biography of Kafeel Aazer, composer of the wonderful nazm “Bat Niklegi” is missing in your blog. It is unfortunate that lyricist of one of the most famous songs is neglected. Common men, in general, love songs but are totally ignorant of the poets behind in coining the words. Even the singers seldom acknowledge them. It is good that you are working hard in archiving the poets. Please try to include the biographical details of Kafeel Azer.
