epresented India as poet in many international Urdu poetry symposiums, and has been honoured with prestigious national and international awards like Shehanshah-e-Ghazal Award, Firaq Gorakhpuri award, Ghazal Hero award, Ghazal Bhaskar Award as well as literary awards from Punjab Urdu Akademi and Bihar Urdu Akademi. He has been featured on BBC Urdu Service, apart from more than two hundred TV and radio literary programs.
