HAZRAT FAQIR TABISH KAMAL

Hazrat Faqir Tabish Kamal is one of the most prominent and noteworthy poets among his contemporaries in last decade of previous century. He brought forward the healthy tradition of poetry while harmonizing and synchronizing with modern empiricism, particularly poems in Urdu and Kafi in Punjabi. His Urdu poems encompass almost every topic. In this art, his special attribute, which is the fate of a few poets, is the melodiousness. Amazingly, Hazrat Faqir Tabish Kamal has maintained his individuality while creatively learning from each grand poet ranging Baba Farid (R.A) to Khawaja Farid (R.A). His poetry encloses the literary impassionate style along with modern intellect. Hazrat Faqir Tabish Kamal attained the Masters degrees in Urdu and Punjabi from Punjab University. Until now his four books; Manzar Manzar Dhoop (Urdu-Three Editions), Sham Payee Bin Sham (Punjabi-Three Editions), Mahajir Prindo’n ki Nazmein (Urdu-Two Editions) and Naatia book “Sall-e-Alaa” have been published and highly appreciated by literary associates.

Moreover, “Loh-e-Kamal,” “Zar-e-Bagh” and “Mata-e-Kamal” are his other remarkable pieces of collection works. He is the member of Arbab-e-Zouq Rawalpindi and Pakistan Writers Guild Punjab. The research projects of M.A, M.Phil and PhD in different universities on his personality and literary contributions are the obvious confession of his intellectual and literary brilliance. “Sair-ul-Aflak”, an astounding composition of one of his spiritual journeys is not only an invaluable addition to books on sufism but also introduces us to a free flowing prose writer. His success in both Sufism and poetry fields is evidenced by recognitions and compliments from Pakistan’s reputed writers such as Ahmed Nadeem Qasmi, Iftikhar Arif, Aftab Iqbal Shamim, Zia Jalandhri, Sharif Kunjahi, Hafeez Tayeb, Dr. Khurshid Rizvi, Ata-ul-Haq Qasmi, Dr. Anwer Sadeed, Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan, Ehsan Akbar, Syed Manzoor-ul-Konain, Younis Adeeb, Hafeez-ur-Rehman Ahsan, Ali Muhammad Farshi, Yousaf Hassan and other distinguished authors whereas prominent Sufi personalities have also acknowledged his spiritual perfections. However, his spiritual Master Hazrat Bagh Hussain Kamal (R.A) authenticated this by his letter on September 01, 1992: “However, spiritually you have been bestowed with such an honorable status that Barzakh Fellows admire you and in this respect I am proud of you.”

He is the present Leader (Sajjada Nasheen) of Owaisia Kamalia Chain that was bestowed upon his Father and Sheikh. He is performing the duty to kindling the hearts of those seeking spiritual enlightenment with Allah’s Ishq and Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad’s (PBUH) love in DAR UL KAMAL – the holy compound established on Kamal Abad, Pindi Road, Chakwal. He is also multi-dimensional like his Spiritual Master (Sheikh). Flowers, poetry, books and melody are within his dough while passionate love and tasawwuf are the components of his soul. A heart-ravishing personality comes into existence upon the harmonious union of all these elements whose imagination verdures the heart and sight. That’s why when distressed people enter the Faqir’s doorstep, the cuckoo’s shrill and nightingale’s chirping welcome them and vibrant floral atmosphere washes away all agony by passing through eyes to hearts. Furthermore, the sprightly meeting with him and the illuminated recital of Darood Sharif, Bismillah Sharif and the perpetual harmonious strokes of Almighty’s name ‘ALLAH’ during Zikar provide such a flight to souls that sometimes all veils seems to be lifted. The fact that people coming to “DAR UL KAMAL” with broken hearts feel confident, strong and revitalized with life upon their return from there is an open testimony that Hazrat Faqir Tabish Kamal is an accomplished Sheikh and this glorious Owaisia Kamalia Chain possesses special spiritual clemency of Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH). A peerless gathering is organized regularly on every Sunday at 1:00-2:00 PM to remove tarnishing and awaken the love of Allah Almighty in the mirror of hearts. The invitation is open for everyone to attend this spiritual gathering.
