| Introduction | I have been a university professor and Head of the dept of English, Mirza Ghalib college, Gaya(Bihar) a degree college under Magadh University. I was born in the year 1940, in a small village Lakhminya for Bihar under Begusarai district. Mine is an ancient village mostly populated by educated muslims, sub caste sayied to which I too belong. I started composing Ghazals when I was a student of class 9th. My mentor had been my eldest brother late S.M. Manzar Hamid 'Gham'. After few years he allowed me to try my hand at different forms of Urdu poetry other than Ghazal without presenting them to him for correction. My first ghazal was published in 'Yaum-e-Jamhuria' number of 'The Sangam' an Urdu daily from Patna in 1956. After that my poetic composition was published in almost all leading Urdu journals of the country. I have been regularly called by Urdu Section of All India Radio Patna either to participate in studio Mushaira or to recite Kalam-e-Shair. My first poetic collection 'Justajoo Ki Lakeer' was published with financial help of Urdu Academy Patna in 1996. There are at least four unpublished books on different forms of Urdu poetry including one on Seerat-e-Rasool (P.B.U.H) |
