1945 (Hyderabad) – 2021 (Karachi) • Poet of Separation
"A prominent poet whose most iconic work was born out of historical tragedy. Turabi wrote his legendary ghazal 'Woh Humsafar Tha' to express his profound grief over the fall of Dhaka and the splitting of Pakistan in 1971. Decades later, the verses found massive renewed fame when they were used as the romantic original soundtrack for the hit TV drama 'Humsafar'."
