Saghar Siddiqui remembered

LAHORE, Jul 22 (APP):Saghar Siddiqui was a poetic luminary with a profound social conscience whose every ghazal contains verses that illuminate the malign forces besieging

society.

This sentiment was eloquently articulated by Raza Naeem during a special discourse

entitled ‘Saghar Siddiqui (1928-1974), The Poet of Darkness and Consciousness: The Man and the Myth,’ commemorating the 50th anniversary of the revered poet’s demise.

Naeem, a translator and the President of the Progressive Writers Association in Lahore,

highlighted various aspects of Saghar’s poetry.
