Born Syed Mustafa Hasnain Zaidi on October 10, 1930, in Allahabad, British India, Mustafa Zaidi moved to Pakistan after the country gained its freedom from British rule. Apart from his pen, he also made a name for himself in civil service jobs that he took up throughout his life. This duality of his life provided him with a unique perspective on life and society, which in turn greatly impacted his literary works.
He is known as a modernist poet in Urdu literature, and his works are celebrated for their romance, philosophy, and a hint of melancholy. His poems deal with love, life, and society, and he uses a mix of traditional and modern elements to create a new kind of poetry that is still read today. Some of his famous works include "Shab-e-Khamosh" ("Silent Night") and "Sitara-e-Sabz" ("Green Star"). He died under suspicious circumstances on October 12, 1970.
