Mohammad Alvi (10 April 1927 – 29 January 2018; sometimes spelled Mohammed Alvi) was an Indian poet known for writing Urdu gazals, particularly a collection of Urdu gazals titled Chautha Aasmaan (4th sky) which became a subject of dispute between the Muslims scholars when he wrote a couplet titled "send a good prophet". He was later referred to as a "kafir" through a fatwa by the Imam of Jama Masjid in 1994, and he subsequently withdrew the line from his book after he was criticised by the Islamic theology school, Ahmedabad.[1]
The recipient of Sahitya Academy Award in 1992 for Chautha Aasmaan poetry and Ghalib Award by Ghalib Academy, he is believed to have significantly contributed to Urdu literature.[2] His authorship includes eighty-six gazals, sixty-six nazms, some couplets and four books, including Khali Makaan, a poetic book comprising gazals.[3]
