Nazar Biography
Malik Zahoor Ahmad, who adopted the pen name Nazar, was born on 22 August 1923 in Sahiwal, now in Pakistan. His life reflected many roles: electrician, contractor, hotel worker, farmer, and even poultry farmer. Despite limited formal education, he pursued learning through personal reading and emerged as a respected Urdu poet and literary figure.
Over time, he took on editorial duties for Satlaj Weekly in Bahawalpur and served as secretary of Anjuman-e-Taraqqi Pasand Musannefeen.

His poetic collections include Bheegi Palkain, Reza Reza, and Zanjeer-e-Wafa, with translations extending his reach across multiple languages.
Nazar passed away on 7 September 1981 in Bahawalpur, leaving behind a multifaceted legacy in Urdu literature.
