Personal life

[edit]

Haider Qureshi was born in Rabwah, Chiniot District, Punjab, Pakistan.[1] He belongs to a Siraiki-speaking family. His father Qureshi Ghulam Sarwar was from Khanpur, Rahim Yar Khan. Haider Qureshi began writing verses at the age of 18.[1] After passing his secondary level in 1968, he started working at a sugar mill. In the same year, he wrote his first romantic story. He wrote his first ghazal in 1971 soon after his marriage. Later he obtained his Master of Arts (M.A.) in Urdu literature in 1974.[1] Haider Qureshi moved to Germany in 1994, and continues to live there. He is now a German national.

Literary career

[edit]

Qureshi was an active member of literary circles in Khanpur.[1] His six publications are related to anthologies of ghazal, nazm and mahiya. He had also penned short stories, sketches, memories, inshaiya (light essays), a travelog of his pilgrimage to Mecca and a literary collection of his 11 Books Umre-La ' haasil ka Haasil (The outcome of futile life).[1] He is also a strong supporter of Urdu mahiya and has been both praised and criticised for his work on mahiya in the poetry circles.[2][3]

He is the editor of the literary Urdu magazine Jadeed Adab,[4] first launched from Khanpur in 1978, and later from Germany.[5][6] Qureshi's poetry has been translated into English, Arabic, German and Turkish.

Most of his literary work is comprised in the book Umr-e-Lahaasil Ka Haasil, a Kulliyat of both poetry and prose.[7][8]

Jadeed Adab

[edit]

Jadeed Adab (Urdu: جدید ادب ) was an Urdu literary magazine based in Germany founded by Haider Qureshi; he remains its editor-in-chief. It is published from Germany, Pakistan and India, in print form and on the internet. It was first launched in 1978 from Khanpur, Pakistan.[1][6] Farhat Nawaz was the co-editor of Jadeed Adab Khanpur in Pakistan.

Jadeed Adab was founded in 1978 from Khanpur, Pakistan, by Haider Qureshi at the cost of his spouse Mubarika Haider's jewelry which he sold one after another until all were sold and the magazine ceased to be published.[1] It is published from Germany, Pakistan and India, and it is available both in print form and on the internet.[6] After several years the magazine was restarted from Germany.[1]

Jadeed Adab was (until the last 2012 issue) the only regularly published Urdu literary magazine both in print form and on the internet.[6]

Views

[edit]

Dawn newspaper praised his poetry remarking;

"Haider's poetry is a rich blend of traditional Urdu and the local lingo. In it one can find numerous examples of 'linguistic liberty. He is perhaps the only living poet who deliberately uses an old Punjabi dialect in Urdu ghazal..... The use of simple words, avoidance of complexity and creating a unique environment are praiseworthy. Be it ghazal, nazm or mahiya, the locale is visible in most of his poetry.[1]
