Bashir Badra

Bashir means a messenger of good news. My eyes lit up whenever I see him any of those Kavi Sammelans or Mushairas on TV. He is good news to me.

This Soorma Bhopali always uses simple, easy-to-understand words. No mindboggling stuff. Never restricted to Urdu, he very lavishly uses Hindi & English in his works. Unfortunately, he never writes in Devnagri script therefore that should limit his reading audience. Still this poet's popularity is amazing. That's courtesy various translations.

Here is the compilation of a few of his famous Sher. You must have read or heard them before. No harm in revisiting them.
