Wasif Ali Wasif
Wasif Ali Wasif(R.A)(15 January 1929 – 18 January
1993) was a teacher, writer, poet and sufi intellectual
from Pakistan. He was famous for his unique literary style. He used to write
short pieces of prose on topics like love, life, fortune, fear, hope,
expectation, promise, prayer, happiness, sorrow and so on. He was the regular
columnist of Pakistani Urdu newspaper Daily Nawa-i-Waqt. His 1st column named
“Muhabbat”. In his life most of his columns were combined to form books with
his own selected title. He did poetry in Urdu and Punjabi languages. Probably
no contemporary Urdu writer is more cited in quotations than he is. Later years
he used to answer questions in specially arranged gatherings at Lahore attended
by the notable community. Some of these sessions were recorded in audio and
were later published as Guftgoo (talk) series. His mehfils never had a set
subject nor did he lecture on chosen topics. His way was to ask people if they
had questions and then he responded to these in his highly original style. His
thought was more on mysticism, spirituality and humanity. There are about 40
books to his credit including “Shab Chiragh”, “Kiran Kiran Sooraj”, and “Dil
Darya Samundar”. It is self-evident that his books as well as recordings of
talks are a treasure trove of wisdom. This is most famous book of him. In this book there are so many answers of spiritual questions.
