December 26 marked the death anniversary of famous poet Munir Niazi who wrote many poems in both the Urdu as well as the Punjabi languages. Munir Niazi was born in Khanpur on 19 April 1928, in a village. He belonged to the Niazi tribe. He was initially educated at Khanpur and after the partition he migrated to Sahiwal, where he passed his matriculation. He earned an intermediate degree from S.E. College, Bahawalpur and a BA from Diyal Singh College in Lahore, Pakistan. Niazi launched a weekly from Sahiwal in 1949.
It was called ‘Seven Colours’ or ‘Satrangi’. Besides he wrote numerous film songs and made his name as one of the biggest lyricists. He also wrote for newspapers, magazines and radio. Literary experts are of the opinion that Niazi had brilliant imagery in his writing using only a few words. He also experimented with poetic forms and tried to create a new style, rhythm and diction in Urdu poetry. Innocence, mythology, nostalgia, dreams, eroticism, and romance are some of his most common themes in both poetry and prose. Munir Niazi died of respiratory illness on 26 December 2006 in Lahore.
