Anjum Saroya ty Shiv kumar Batalvi
Shiv Kumar Batalvi was a prominent Punjabi poet, known for his deeply emotional and poignant poetry. Born on July 23, 1936, in Barapind, Punjab (now in Pakistan), his poetry is often characterized by themes of love, loss, longing, and separation. He became one of the youngest recipients of the Sahitya Akademi Award in 1967 for his work *Luna*, a verse play that is considered one of his most significant contributions to Punjabi literature.
Batalvi’s poetry often explores the pain of unrequited love, and his verses carry a melancholic, almost tragic beauty that resonated with a wide audience. His use of simple yet evocative language made his poetry accessible and loved by the masses. Some of his well-known works include *Mainu Vida Karo*, *Birha Tu Sultan*, and *Ajj Din Chhadeya*.
Shiv Kumar Batalvi passed away at the young age of 36 on May 6, 1973, but his work continues to be celebrated for its emotional depth and lyrical beauty.
