1934 (Aligarh) – 1966 (Sargodha) • The Short-Lived Brilliance
"A poet of terrifyingly intense brilliance. At the age of 32, Shakeb Jalali tragically committed suicide by throwing himself in front of a train in Sargodha. Despite his brief life, he left behind a staggering legacy of psychologically deep, technically perfect, and chillingly beautiful ghazals that remain an object of study and fascination in Urdu literature."
