Today marks the 24th death anniversary of Habib Jalib, the revolutionary poet extraordinaire.
Born in 1928, Habib Jalib migrated to Pakistan from India following partition in 1947 and started working for the Daily Imroz in Karachi. Being a progressive poet he wrote against the military coups of General Ayub Khan and Ziaul Haq and protested in the streets against the Hudood Ordinance alongside women.
Jalib was jailed several times but was resilient when it came to his poetry. Once, in jail, he was told that he would not be provided with pen or paper — to which he responded “I recite my poem to your guard, he will recite it in the town square, and so it will reach Lahore.”
