Sarguzasht: Unpublished Autobiography of Mirza Aziz Faizani Darapuri

Abstract

Mirza Aziz Faizani Darapuri was a relatively lesser-known but prolific poet and writer of the Twentieth century. He has written admirable poetry in Persian, Urdu, and Punjabi. His poetry and articles were published in the leading newspapers and literary journals of his time. He lived a short but meaningful life and taught the Muslim Ummah a united and practical life through his poetry and writings. He was truly the heir and follower of poets like Maulana Hali, Akbar Allhabadi, Allama Iqbal and Zafar Ali Khan. He wrote many books in poetry and prose. A few books were published during his lifetime, but many remain unpublished. His autobiography, Sarguzasht, is also included in these unpublished books. His autobiography, despite its brevity, is a true reflection of the important events and circumstances of his life. This autobiography is an important addition to the biographical literature of Urdu in terms of the authenticity of its text, simplicity of expression and charm of language. This article provides a detailed introduction to Mirza Aziz Faizani's autobiography as well as its value and importance.
