Obituary writer Dr. Rehan Azmi left us 3 years ago

It has been three years since renowned “Marsiya Nigar” Dr. Rehan Azmi passed away. He had no equal in praise and salutations, Naat, Noha, Manqbat and Marsiya.

The history of modern Urdu literature is incomplete without the mention of Dr. Rehan Azmi from Karachi.

He was a teacher, journalist and writer, but his main medium and his specialty remained poetry, especially “Noha” and “Marsiya”. His great services are included in the elegiac literature “Risai Adab” of Pakistan.

He also wrote more than 25 books in Risai literature, including Nawai Minbar, Gham, Aayat-e-Manqbat and Ek Ansu Mein Karbala. Rehan Azmi also won many medals at the international and national level.
