Wazir Agha (Urdu: وزیر آغا) was a Pakistani Urdu language writer, poet, critic and essayist.[3] He has written many poetry and prose books.[4] He was also the editor and publisher of the literary magazine "Auraq" for many decades.[1] He introduced many theories in Urdu literature. His most famous work is on Urdu humor. His books focus on modern Urdu poets, notably those who have written more poems instead of ghazals. Agha's poems have mostly an element of the story.[1]
