1947 (Dera Ghazi Khan) – 1996 (Lahore) • Master of Melancholy
"A brilliant reciter with a commanding stage presence, Mohsin Naqvi was renowned for his majestic vocabulary and profound verses. He was equally a master of romantic ghazals and deeply religious poetry honoring the Ahl-e-Bait. His life was cut tragically short when he was assassinated in Lahore, becoming a victim of sectarian violence."
