The Poet: The Poet: Muhammad Munir Khan محمد منیر خان, commonly known as Munir Niazi منیؔر نیازی (takhallus: Munir ) was born on 19 April 1928 in Khanpur خانپور, which was then a small town adjacent to Hoshiarpur ہوشیارپور , Punjab پنجاب , British India. His father, Fateh Muhammad Khan فتح محمد خان , had 6 brothers and 3 sisters. When Munir was 2 months old, his father passed away. His mother, Rasheeda Begum رشیدہ بیگم , then married a younger brother of her late husband. He started his education in Khanpur. At age 7, he moved to Montgomery منٹگمری (now Sahiwal ساہیوال , in Pakistan), where his family had a business interest. He passed his Matriculation (10th Grade) exam from Government High School, Montgomery. Then he moved to Amritsar امرتسر for his education. His uncle was a Colonel in the British Indian Army. With his efforts, Munir joined the Royal Indian Navy. However, that job was not suited to his nature and so he ran away. He was apprehended and prosecuted, but deserted again. He hid for a while in Montgomery, and then in Hasilpur حاصل پور . This loneliness is believed to left a mark on his personality and contributed towards his creativity. He passed his Intermediate Exam (12th Grade) from Bahawalpur بہاول پور , following which he was enrolled at the Dayal Singh College دیال سنگھ کالج , Lahore لاہور , for his Bachelors. Then he moved to Srinagar سرینگر , Kashmir کشمیر , and finally to Jalandhar جالندھر . He was in his second year BA at Islamia College Jallandhar اسلامیہ کالج جالندھر , when his education got interrupted in 1947, which he could never complete. He moved to Montgomery, Punjab, following the creation of Pakistan, and started “Arzhang Publishers” ارژنگ پبلشرز , a publishing company. He also started “Saat Rang” سات رنگ , a weekly literary magazine. In Montgomery he was close to مجید امجد Majeed Amjad (1914-1974) and was influenced by his poetry. In 1950 Munir Niazi moved to Lahore لاہور . He first resided in Model Town ماڈل ٹاؤن , then in the Township. He became a member of Halqa-e Arbaab-e Zauq حلقہِ اربابِ ذوق , and worked as a secretary of its Lahore chapter. In Lahore he started two Publishing Companies, “Al-Misaal” المثال , and “Maktaba-e Munir” مکتبہِ منیر , but both were not successful.

He started writing poetry at Islamia College, Jalandhar, and wrote for the college magazine Mujahid. His first poem in Pakistan was “Barsaat” برسات , which was published in 1949. He did not have a formal ustad استاد (poetry teacher). He had a very independent personality and liked loneliness. He could never accept a particular condition or situation for a long time.
