Shabkhoon was an Urdu literary magazine started in June 1966 in Allahabad, India.[1] The magazine was founded and edited by poet and author Shamsur Rahman Faruqi who used to work on it along with his job at the Indian Postal Service. The journal covered the modernist (jadidiyat) voice in Urdu literature at a time when the literary scene was dominated by progressive literature (taraqqi pasand) and was hailed as "the harbinger of modernism in Urdu".[2][3] The Magazine was calligraphed by a scribe (katib) Salimullah Naiyer.[3] Forty years after being started, the journal was published for the last time in June 2006.[3] Though it was popular, it ceased publication owing to editor Shamsur Rahman Faruqi's failing health.[1]
Describing the support of his wife Jamila Faruqi, Rehman said:
Without Jamila, there would have been no Shabkhoon and without Shabkhoon my struggle to become a writer of my kind would never have ended.
— Shamsur Rehman Faruqi, in a conversation with Mayank Austen Soofi
