What is clear, however, is the emotional resonance of his poetry, especially through his ghazals, many of which are cherished for their heartfelt expressions.

His ghazals and longer poetic compositions appear across online poetry archives, where they are offered in Urdu script, Hindi script, and Roman transliteration. These platforms also provide audio renditions and sometimes e-book formats, enabling a wide audience to experience his verses in multiple formats.

Readers often describe his work as touching and deeply emotive. One platform notes that his ghazal collection is “a masterpiece,” especially appealing to lovers of melancholic and romantic Urdu poetry. This suggests that Iqbal Anjum connects with his listeners and readers through the intimate and poignant landscapes of human emotion.

Despite the scarcity of biographical information, Iqbal Anjum’s poetry continues to find life through online circulation. His words touch listeners and readers who seek the emotional and lyrical beauty of Urdu ghazal and poetic expression.
