Condolences pour in from across valley

Noted Sufi poet, Aziz Naaz passed away on Friday at his ancestral home in Hib-Dangarpora, Rafiabad Sopore. He was 75.

Besides being the founder member of Rafiabad Adbi Markaz, Naaz served as the general counsel member of Adbi Markaz Kamraz. His poetry portrayed all the sensitivities of Sufism.

One of his famous poems ‘Kral Nama’ which speaks about the ups and downs of human life was not only acclaimed by the poets and the literary people but was praised by commoners as well.

The demise of Naaz has come as a great loss to the field of art and literature as rich tributes poured in from the literary quarters of the valley.

Many organizations including Adbi Markaz Kamraz, Rafiabad Adbi Markaz, Mehboob Cultural Society, Kashmir Writers Forum, Director Doordarshan and Patron Rafiabad Adbi Markaz, Dr. Rafiq Masoodi, Aziz Hajini, Syed Shujaat Bukhari and Shahnaz Rashid while terming the death as a great loss have expressed solidarity with the bereaved family.

“It takes thousands of years for a poet of his caliber to be born,” said people who were close to Naaz.
