ندیم قاسمی) (November 20, 1916 – July 10, 2006) was a legendary Urdu and
English language Pakistani poet, journalist, literary critic, dramatist
and short story author. With some 50 books of poetry, fiction,
criticism, journalism and art to his credit, Qasmi was a major figure in
contemporary Urdu literature. His poetry stood out among his
contemporaries' work for its unflinching humanism, and Qasmi's Urdu
afsana (novel) work is considered by some second only to Prem Chand in
its masterful depiction of rural culture. He also published and edited
the prestigious literary journal Funoon for almost half a century,
grooming generations of new writers. He also wrote many English poems
and short stories. His poem The Feed is included in the syllabus of
intermediate classes in Pakistan.
