26th Dec........The two gems of Urdu poetry were lost this day, Perveen Shakir and Munir Niazi sahib........ Perveen Shakir was the best Urdu poetess ever born and had an excellent command over romantic poetry, she surely filled the vacuum of Akhtar Shiraani sahib, but none to fill hers place.......rest in peace Munir Niazi sahib had the best of his poetry both in Punjabi and Urdu, a wonderfully gifted poet....... sab kahan kuch lala-o-gul mein numayan ho gaeein..... khak mein kya suratein hongi k pinhan ho gaeein ......Ghalib
