Birth anniversary of Nasir Kazmi being observed today
LAHORE: Renowned Urdu poet Nasir Kazmi is being remembered on his birth anniversary on Tuesday.
He was born on December 8, 1925 at Ambala in India.
Kazmi emigrated from Ambala, India to Lahore, Pakistan in August 1947. He also worked as a staff editor for Radio Pakistan. He was frequently thought of as a melancholic poet, though most of his poetry is based on romantic happiness and hope.
Some of his collection of poems were published as books, including Berg-i-Nai (1952), Deewaan (1972), Pehli Baarish (1975), Hijr Ki Raat Ka Sitara and Nishat-i-Khwab (1977).
In 2013, Pakistan Post released a commemorative postage stamp of Rs 15 denomination to commemorate Kazmi's death.
He died of cancer in Lahore on March 2, 1972.
