Introduction

I am known as Tanwir Phool in the literary circle. "Tanwir" means "refulgence" and "Phool" means "flower". My first poetry was published in April, 1957. My father and mother always encouraged my literary activities. My 12 books have been published so far. I am a preacher of universal brotherhood, peace, education, charity and equality. I think that poetry may be defined as melody of nature.
