 (Pakistan News & Features Services)

Mian Mohammad Saeed, who was quietly serving the cause of Urdu literature for the past one decade, has passed away after protracted illness in his hometown Ahmed Pur East. 

The family sources announced his death on the website of bio-bibliography.com which he had launched in 2012 and took care of it until the end of his life. 

Mian Saeed was one of the two co-compilers of Jumbo Publishing’s famed title ‘Faiz Huay Hain Mar Kay Amar’ which was published in 2014. Prof Dr Nasim Fatima, a noted scholar and researcher, was the other compiler of the first-ever Urdu publication of Jumbo Media Group. 

Upon retirement from business, Mian Saeed displayed tremendous passion for research and literary pursuits. He was observed having spent days after days at the various libraries of Karachi to fuel his passion. 

The establishment of a website www.bio-bibliography.com was a labour of his love as he had put together invaluable information from different authentic sources to develop a worthy resource for the research enthusiasts.

He had also worked with great dedication, with Prof Dr Nasim Fatima, in the compilation of book on ‘Faiz Huay Hain Mar Kay Amar’ which was spread over more than 400 pages.

Quite a few books had earlier been published on Faiz Ahmed Faiz but ‘Faiz Huay Hain Mar Kay Amar’ stood out as a most useful publication as it was lauded by the literary pundits.

The management of Jumbo Media Group has condoled the death of Mian Mohammad Saeed, describing his passing away as a huge loss to the bibliography community.
