Dr. Qasim Imam is today’s voice of Urdu poetry. I have had good fortune of meeting him and have been impressed by his simplicity and the warmth he shows towards everyone who meets him. This says a lot about the person behind the poet. If you are regular at mushairas and mehfils you will hear him definitely but do listen to him on Youtube if you haven’t seen him read live.
Pata nahi tha ki kis shahar mein ho tum aabad
