بسم اللہ الرحمٰن الرحیم
I am known as Tanwir Phool in the literary circle. "Tanwir" means "refulgence" and "Phool" means "flower". My first poetry was published in April , 1957. My father and mother always encouraged my literary activities. My 12 books have been published so far. I am a preacher of universal brother-hood, peace, education, charity and equality. I think that poetry may be defined as melody of nature.
I have been blessed with these prestigious awards for my Urdu poetry:
1) Presidential Award from the Government of Pakistan.
2) Faran Writers' Guild Award.
3) Cash Award for Rs.100,000/- from Governor Sindh.
4) National Book Foundation's Awards  and
5) Academy Award
