About Ibn-e-Insha

Sher Muhammad Khan (Urdu: شیر مُحمّد خان, Punjabi, شیر محمد خان), better known by his pen name Ibn-e-Insha (Urdu: اِبنِ اِنشا, Punjabi, ابن انشا; 15 June 1927 – 11 January 1978), was a Pakistani Urdu poet, humorist, travelogue writer and newspaper columnist. Along with his poetry, he was regarded as one of the best humorists of Urdu. His poetry has a distinctive diction laced with language reminiscent of Amir Khusro in its use of words and construction that is usually heard in the more earthy dialects of the Hindi-Urdu complex of languages, and his forms and poetic style have influenced generations of young poets. Henry) Andha Kunvaan (translation of some short stories of Edgar Allan Poe) Ibn-e-Insha was awarded the Pride of Performance Award by the President of Pakistan in 1978.
