Literary life

The Urdu poets of Tonk preferred the style and mannerism of Momin to that of Ghalib. A master of classic diction Bismil Saeedi wrote mainly ghazals. He was a recipient of Ghalib Award and Nehru Award.[3]

A collection of his ghazals titled Auraq e Zindagi was published by P.K.Publications in the year 1971.[4] And, another collection of his ghazals, selected and compiled by Makhmoor Saeedi, titled Intikhab e kalam e Bismil Saidi was published by the Urdu Akadmi, Delhi.[5] In 2007 his complete works titled Kulliyat e Bismil Saeedi were published by the Sahitya Akademi.[6] His other poetical works are Mushhidat, Kaif e Alam and Nishat e gham.

In 2011, Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University awarded the Ph.D. Degree to Sabiha Kausar Badruddin Ansari on her doctoral dissertation – "Bismil Saeedi – Hayat aur Shairi" (Bismil Saeedi – Life and poetry).[7] A detailed appraisal of his life and works titled Bismil Saeedi-shakhs aur shair compiled jointly by Gopal Mittal, Makhmoor Saeedi and Prem Gopal Mittal was published by Nishanil Akademi, New Delhi, in 1976.[8] Zia Fatehabadi, also a disciple of Seemab Akbarabadi, had through his 1975 nazm, Bismil e ghazal, eulogised his senior whose takhallus, Bismil, means, "the wounded".[9]
