Asrarul Haq ‘Majaz’ (1911-1955) is considered to be one of the most loved poets of Urdu. He was just 44 when he died under mysterious circumstances. His nephew, poet, psychoanalyst and academic, Prof. Salman Akhtar, argues that Majaz, in fact, had been ‘self destructive’ and obsessed with ‘death’ from an early period in his life. He was ‘chronically’ suicidal, says Dr Akhtar in this interview with Pervaiz Alam.
