Anwar Masood (Urdu: انورمسعود, Punjabi: انورمسعود Punjabi: ਅਨਵਰ ਮਸਊਦ; born 8 November 1935) is a Pakistani poet and educationist known for his comic poetry.[1] However, his works include other genres as well. He writes in Punjabi, Urdu, and Persian languages.[2][3]
His poetry is known for the unique use of everyday, commonplace phrases and wording that is instantly relatable for masses in the region. Numerous of his Punjabi lines and phrases have actually become figures of speech in everyday conversations. The most prominent feature of his expression is the poignancy buried deep under the humor making his poetry one of its kind. The nuance of tragedy in his poems is a reflection of social injustice, discriminations, and personal misfortunes of his characters. This is why he himself commented: "قہقہ وہ ہے جسے نچوڑیں تو آنسو ٹپکیں" (Real laughter is one that sheds tears when squeezed).
He was awarded the Hilale Imtiaz Civil in 2023.
He was awarded the Pride of Performance in 1999.
