Shauq Bahraichi (Urdu: شوق بہرائچی۔; 06 June 1884 – 13 January 1964),[1]
was born and raised in a middle-class Shia Muslim family. Shauq chose the arduous path, as he was a critic of the government and the desolate society. At an early age, due to his father's death, his higher education was aborted, and he was eventually bound to join small jobs in the municipality. But, his mercurial character and predilection towards poetry pulled him from the mess of prosaic life. He began his career by writing 'Ghazals'. Gradually, he enlarged his domain in all other forms of poetry. His laconic and audacious writings touched all the socio-economic issues with shades of sarcasm and satire.
Vilifying social evils, he once wrote:
barbād gulistāñ karne ko bas ek hī ullū kāfī thā
har shāḳh pe ullū baiThā hai anjām-e-gulistāñ kyā hogā
To destroy the garden even one owl was enough
What shall happen to the garden when an owl is sitting on every branch
