Shaik Iqbal Biography
Shaik Iqbal was born in 1930 in Dera Ismail Khan and passed away in 1975. He gained recognition for his deeply moving ghazals and couplets that touched on themes of life’s demands, transformation, and hope.
One of his memorable couplets illustrates the delicate cycle of daily renewal:
