Shatir Ghaznavi (1905–1971) was a playwright, lyricist and story/screenplay dialogue writer for movies, born in 1905 in Peshawar, Pakistan.〔"Peshawar artists in Bollywood: Starry surprise – PakPassion – Pakistan Cricket Forum." PakPassion.net – PakPassion.net. N.p., n.d. Web. 20 June 2013. == Playwright == He had started writing poetry and literary pursuits from his school days.〔 After completing his education he started his full-fledged literary career by launching a monthly literary magazine from Peshawar called ''Saghir.''〔 At the same time he started writing radio plays for the then All India Radio Station Peshawar. The well-known literary figure and broadcaster of the time, Sajjad Sarwar Niazi was the director of the Peshawar Radio Station.〔 He spotted the talent of Shatir Ghaznavi and encouraged the young playwright to hone his skills. One of Shatir's celebrated plays, which was broadcast from Radio Peshawar in 1934, was ''Zartaj''. It became an instant hit and was rebroadcast by all the radio stations of pre-independence before 1947 and subsequently, after 1947, by all the radio stations of Pakistan until the nineteen sixties.〔 Shatir Ghaznavi was one of the pioneers of the new Urdu drama. Stage drama was on the decline and further, it was following Agha Hashar's tradition of flowery and poetic language.〔 It was not a mirror of real life. There being no other outlet for drama, Shatir wrote for the radio.〔 He introduced new topics and techniques.〔 He brought drama closer to real life both in content and form. He got rid of the heavy, emotionally loaded, long-winded poetic dialogues.〔 He picked up social topics and introduced real life characters who spoke like real living people. Even in his celebrated radio drama ''Zartaj'' in which Changez Khan and Halaku, grandfather and grandson, both fall in love with the same woman, speak in plain language like ordinary people.〔 Unfortunately, his plays have not been published and seem to have been lost for posterity. During his tenure at All India Radio Peshawar Station, Shatir Ghaznavi met a budding poet, Nek Mohammad. Shatir became his mentor and started guiding the young poet in his poetical endeavours. Shatir gave him the pen name of Khatir Ghaznavi to rhyme with his own name. Later, Khatir Ghaznavi earned a niche in the poetical hall of fame of Pakistan in general and the former North Western Frontier Province (now KPK) of Pakistan in particular. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shatir Ghaznavi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
