I consider is privilege standing or hum Rasool Nazki, an outstanding and distinguished poet, translator and broadcaster. Nazki was a polyglot and wrote with equal case in Kashmiri, Urdu, Persian and Arabic languages. This monograph contains basic information about his personality and literary contribution. Monographs are written with an aim to provide basic and fundamental information to the common masses about renowned and prominent literary and academic figures, in simple and familiar language. They are not meant for complex intellectual and critical discourses; critics and scholars pen down voluminous books in that regard. Sahitya Akademi, New Delhi has been publishing monographs on famous academic and literary personalities for the past several years; the present monograph is a continuation of the same process. The rules of the Akademi require a monograph to be sixty to eighty pages. While writing this monograph, I had to abide by the rule, otherwise keeping in view the multidimensional personality of Mir Ghulam Rasool Nazki and his vast literary contributions, it was extremely difficult to cover his personality in these few pages. Not withstanding this limitation, an attempt has been made to provide fundamental information to the common readers about the important dimensions of his personality. It is hoped that the monograph will duly serve its purpose.
