Though Dr Nayyar Masood stands distinguished as an Urdu short story writer because of his highly refined symbolic expression, he is equally well-versed in the field of literary research. However, Dr Masood’s one position is slightly different from the other. He is a short story writer in his own right, but in the field of research he comes second to his father, the great scholar, late Syed Masood Hasan Rizvi.
Masood shares with his father a deep involvement in the study of Urdu marsiya, with particular reference to Mir Anis. His studies in this respect, which have come to us in installments, appear to be an attempt to complete what had been left unfinished by his father and is in the form of two books, Marsiya Khwani Ka Funn and Marka-i-Anis-au-Dabir. Added to this is a recently published exhaustive biography of Mir Anis.
At the behest of Muqtadra Qaumi Zaban, Masood has compiled an abridged version of his magnum opus. As he explains in the brief introductory note, while compiling this version, he has kept in view the requirements of the lay readers who just want to know about t

Mir Babbar Ali Anis is one of the poets who took the genre of Urdu Marsiya to unprecedented heights. With his creative expression and melancholy-infused grandeur, he has become the paragon of Marsiya, something that can be found only and only in his writings.
Meer Anis was born in Faizabad in 1803. His father Mir Mustahasan Khaliq himself was a great and famous poet of Marathi. Poetry was his pedigree as his grandfather Zahak, and great grandfather Mir Hassan (author of Masnavi Sahar Al Bayan), were all noted poets of their times. It is noteworthy that the poets of this family took a different path apart from ghazal and brought the genre they touched to perfection.
