Pakistan Gave Us: Habib Jalib (1928-1993)
Habib Jalib was a Pakistani revolutionary poet. A left-wing activist and politician, he was a staunch democrat who fiercely opposed martial law, authoritarianism and state oppression.
Habib Jalib was first imprisoned during the martial law regime of Ayub Khan for being critical of his policies. He wrote his legendary poem "Dastoor" during those days. Criticizing those who supported Ayub Khan's regime, he wrote:
"There is smoke of teargas in the air
and the bullets are raining all around
How can I praise thee
the night of the period of shortsightedness."
A humble man with limited means of livelihood, Jalib could never reconcile with the dictatorship of Ayub Khan. So when Ayub enforced his tailor-made constitution in the country in 1962, Jalib wrote a poem against it.
Due to his daring revolt against the order of the day, Jalib was banned from official media but he remained undeterred. He rather started a tirade against the tyranny with more resolution. It reached its zenith when Fatima Jinnah decided to contest elections against Ayub Khan. All democratic forces rallied around her and at her election meetings, Jalib used to recite his fiery poems in front of an emotionally-charged crowd. His most popular poem at that time was:
"The paradise is under the feet of the mother. So come into her fold."
During General Zia-ul-Haq's dictatorship, Jalib joined movement for democracy. He wrote the famous poem on Zia, where he asked how he could write darkness as 'Zia' (Zia literally means light in Urdu). Jalib himself remained a victim of a cruel social order. He was imprisoned for some time after being wrongly implicated in various crimes. With no regular source of income, he had a rootless existence, but he never considered compromising with his tormentors and coming to terms with established order.

Pakistan Gave Us: Moin Akhtar (1950-2011)


A play writer, singer, film director, producer, comedian, impersonator, host and unparalleled actor. Moin Akhtar was a man of immense diversity. He did over 40 dramas, sitcoms and shows, and hosted several hundred events as Master of Ceremonies, attended by dignitaries of highest levels.

He was loved for providing humor for people of all ages, and with an etiquette that remains unmatched. His attempts to avoid vulgarity in his humor rendered him a favorite amongst family audiences. Akhtar was fluent in several languages, including English, Bengali, Sindhi, Punjabi, Memon, Pashto, Gujarati and Urdu.

Moin Akhtar rose to the national spotlight and gathered critical acclaim for his performance in the drama Rosy, in which he played the role of a female TV artist. Rozy was an Urdu adaptation of Hollywood movie Tootsie starring Dustin Hoffman. However, he will be most remembered for his talk-show called Loose Talk, in which he appeared as a different character in each of over 400 episodes interviewed by Anwar Maqsood, the writer and the host of the program. Akhter also briefly hosted the game show Kya Aap Banaingay Carorepati, the Pakistani version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire.

Akhtar was the backbone of entertainment media in Pakistan. He was an innovative genius, a lovable character from all aspects of life. He was a very composed personality, very distinct from others in his lot, spending most of his time in serenity, reading, philosophizing, and in spiritual enhancement.

He was awarded honorary citizenship of Dallas in 1996 for his achievements and received Pakistan's highest civilian award, President's Pride of Performance.
