Urdu Academy pays tribute to Chiragh Hasan Hasrat

The Urdu Academy of North America dedicated its November 16, 2014 literary event to the life and work of Chiragh Hasan Hasrat, a prominent poet and satirist of Urdu. Maryam Turab was master of ceremony of the event held at the Chandni Restaurant, Fremont/Newark, CA. Professor Ibrahim Siddiqui was the guest of honor while Dr. Ismat Kamal presided over the event. As usual a number of Urdu lovers presented the poetry of Hasrat: Atia Naaz, Abdus Sattar Ghazali, Arshad Rashid, Mujeebur Rehman, Mobeen Khalil, Mueez Khan, Nagesh Avadhani, Tashie Zaheer and Zafar Khan. Atia Naaz perhaps stole the show with her melodious presentation of a doha of Chiragh Hasan Hasrat.
