Dr. Inam ur Rahman M.D. Mani — Life and Introduction

Dr. Inam ur Rahman M.D. Mani is a distinguished Urdu poet whose verses flow straight from the heart. His poetry weaves passion, truth, and tenderness in a way that deeply touches the soul. His work beautifully bridges the classical traditions of Urdu ghazal with contemporary expression. Not only is Mani well-versed in the art of poetry, but he is also deeply knowledgeable in the science of prosody — mastering meter, rhythm, and rhyme. His ghazals are carefully structured, balancing technical skill with profound meaning. His recurring themes include love, dreams, union, separation, silence, and deep emotional currents. While his work echoes the simplicity of Mir, the philosophy of Ghalib, and the emotional softness of Faraz, it simultaneously carries a voice that is entirely his own. As a medical doctor (M.D.), Mani intimately understands both the physical and spiritual states of human life. This insight breathes life into his verses, making them more than mere poetry — they become reflections of lived experience.

From the Poet (Self-introduction),
“I am Inam ur Rahman ‘Mani’ — a doctor by profession, a poet by soul. For me, poetry is not just the arrangement of words; it is the voice of the soul clothed in verse, reaching out to touch another heart. In medicine, I learned the language of the body; in poetry, I discovered the voice of the spirit. Both paths lead through pain, through healing, and through understanding. I hope that my poetry touches you like a gentle breeze, a fleeting scent, or a half-remembered dream.”
