Tum Ki Bann Sakti Ho Har Mehfil Mein Firdaus-e Nazar,
Mujhko Yeh Da’wa Ki Har Mehfil Pe Chaa Sakta Ho Mein

Majaz (19th Oct 1911 – 5th Dec 1955) is one of the most important poets of the 20th century. Popularly known as ‘Keats of Urdu Poetry’, he is famous for both romantic and revolutionary poetry; his compositions genuinely reflect the spirit of Lucknow School of Poetry. Iqbal, Meer, Ghalib, Faiz, Akbar, Hasrat and Josh could be ranked as the top-most Urdu poets per a particular sequence and this, too, would depend on individual preference. However, in terms of popularity, Majaz is Globally No. 1. The poet is the most-sung poet every year across all continents in almost every country. All thanks to the Tarana of Aligarh Muslim University, who has immortalised him. No poet in any world language has earned this type of popularity. His grave is recently renovated, which is in Nishatganj Qabristan Lucknow.
