Mirza Adeeb
Mirza Adeeb :PP, BA (Hon), (Punjab, Urdu: مرزا ادیب—Mirzā Adīb; 4 April 1914 – 31 July 1999), also known as Meerza Adeeb, (میرزا ادیب—Mīrzā Adīb), was a Pakistani dramatist, playwright and short story writer who wrote in Urdu and Punjabi languages. His plays and short stories won him six prizes and awards from the Pakistan Writers' Guild.
Mirza Adeeb's birth name was Mirza Dilawer Ali, but he came to be known in the literary world as Mirza Adeeb. (Mirza denotes the rank of a high nobleman or Prince, and Adeeb means 'Litterateur').
He was born on 4 April 1914, in Lahore, British India to Mirza Basheer Ali. He attended Government Islamia High School, Bhati Gate, Lahore. He got his Bachelor of Arts degree from Islamia College, Lahore. He initially focused on poetry, then devoted himself to playwriting.
At first, being influenced by the Rūmānwī Tẹḥrīk—رومانوی تحریک (Urdu for 'The Romanticist Movement'), he wrote romantic prose.
Later, he switched to writing plays about everyday events and incidents taking place in society, focusing more on social problems and common public issues. His later works were pragmatist and verisimilitudinous. He used simple and everyday language in his plays, which enabled them to get a greater audience. Moreover, he had begun writing one-act dramas, which made them easier to broadcast over radio and television. When he affiliated himself with Radio Pakistan, many of his plays were broadcast and they gained popularity among the masses. He is listed as a prominent Urdu playwright of the Modern Era.
His main works, other than dramas, include stories and biographies. He also wrote critical essays and commentaries on books, besides writing columns in newspapers. He was also influenced by the Taraqqī-Pasasnd Tẹḥrīk—ترقّی-پسند تحریک (Urdu for 'Progressive Movement'). He was also the editor of magazines, of which the most notable is Adab-e Laṭīf—ادبِ لطیف (Urdu for 'Humorous Literature'). He also translated some American stories to Urdu.
