Legacy of Nasir Continues.

Ambala, a small city district located on borders of Indian Haryana and Punjab , brought into existence the most prominent, exuberant and a marvellous poetic figure, a celeb that literary world would never forget. Nasir Kazmi a perfectionist of true sort, each of his writings produced epilogues of allegory which made his writings invincible and unassailable.

His poetic life started in 1940s writing romantic poems and sonnets while he looked after his fertile lands in Ambala which he inherited from his ancestors he soon had to migrate to Pakistan after the independence he chose Lahore the heart of Pakistan to compose his ambitious poetries. Ensnared by the thoughtful verses of Mir Taqi Mir he was greatly touched. He started writing ghazals (couplets) under the guidance of Hafeez Hoshyarpuri.

His writings instilled pathos which he had seen at the time of independence, the murders, the lootings and the degradation left an indelible impact on Kazmi's poetry. His artistic ideas were complex yet so easy to grasp. His work beamed about the humane longings and desires and about the love struggling for survival.

Migration though brought glory and he was made the editor of Auraq-i-Nau. Later in 1952 he became the editor-in-chief of Humayun, was associated briefly with Radio Pakistan in Lahore.
A decorous purpose enthused Kazmi to write more and more. He wanted to capture every glory life brought to him, every emotion he gone through, every abstract he had seen, he brought life to his writings which contained gothic emotions, which garlanded his name with immortality.
Apart from the Nazm and Ghazals he was a writing virtuoso. Surr Ki Chaya' is one such work in this book where his proficiency in writing is elaborated. Surr Ki Chaya ' was shaped imperiously and well conceptualized.

Even 35 years after his death his writings persevere the very same charm and they delight. The preserved images have reincarnated the beliefs that Kazmi held onto and continue to amaze its readers
