Lahore (Pakistan)

Rana Amir Liyaqat Biography

Rana Amir Liyaqat is an Urdu poet based in Lahore. He is known in literary circles for ghazals, couplets (shers), and qita, through which he expresses themes of love, separation, longing, and emotional introspection. His poetry appears on platforms like Rekhta and UrduPoint, where readers appreciate both his lyrical style and the clarity of emotion in his expression.

He has published or had circulated at least 18 ghazals and 26 couplets, with a qita, showing a diversity of forms though still focusing more on shorter poetic expressions. His poetry often reflects personal feeling, patience in adversity, hope, the dance between yearning and acceptance. In many of his shers, there is a delicate balance between romantic idealism and realistic emotional tone.

Because specific biographical data like birth date, early life, education, influences etc. are not clearly recorded or widely available, much of what is known about him comes through his poems themselves and how readers respond to them. Among Urdu poetry enthusiasts, he is valued for his emotional sincerity, choice of imagery and the resonance his words create in the everyday experiences of love, distance, and time.
