Adeem Hashmi

Adeem Hashmi was born on 1 August 1946 in Firozpur, India. His real name was Fasihuddin. After the partition of the subcontinent his family moved to Pakistan where he spent his formative years in Faizabad before settling in Lahore in 1970. He later shifted to Rawalpindi. These early movements shaped his outlook and gave him a deep sense of displacement that later appeared in his verses.
