Ashfaq Ahmed entered Urdu literature through short story writing. His first short story, “Touba”, was published in the monthly “Adabi Duniya” in 1942. However, literary fame came from the epic “Gudriya”. Which is called fiction written in the context of migration. But a hidden aspect of this legend is that the story told orally by the narrator in “Gudriya” is the life of Ashfaq Ahmed himself. In which the town Muktsar, elder brother Aftab, Ammaji, father being a doctor and failing in 9th class are all his own real-life events and relationships. The purpose of the paper is to clarify these similarities which are facts by presenting evidence from fiction and Ashfaq Ahmad’s biography “Baba Sahiba”, Bano Qudsia’s biography “Rah-e-Rawan” and other books. Also, to state that this literature, written in the form of fiction, is the best example of faction.
