Habib Jalib’s son becomes a butcher to make both ends meet in Lahore

[Baghial]

LAHORE (Web Desk) – Although the revolutionary poet Habib Jalib earned much respect among literary and political circles for his unmatched resistance against the corrupt elite and him amazing poetry, after his death his family lives in abject poverty.

Habib Jalib faced economic turmoil in his life owing to his views against martial law, authoritarianism and corporatocracy and his son Yasir Jalib is still braving the grim challenges of life.

Yasir is reportedly working at a chicken shop in Lahore and he manages to earn a scant income to make both ends meet. Habib Jalib’s eldest daughter, Tahira, runs a small driving school. The wife of revolutionary poet, Mumtaz Begum died after a protracted illness in 2014.

The Jalib Family with their limited resources still feels proud of the fact that they had not robbed this country of its resources or evaded tax. They refuse any aid from the government.






Their only demand is inclusion of Jalib’s poetry in educational curriculum. They also urge the government to name a single road, library or hospital in Punjab in the honour of Habib Jalib.

Cheif Minister Punjab in his speeches never forgets the celebrated poet but actions speak louder than the words and much is needed to address the grievances of Jalib’s family.



and here comes the irony of this poet= see whoes reading it

[SuvarnaTeja]

Lesson learned.

Idealism and emotions do not feed your stomach.

One needs to be smart and savvy to live in this world.

His family is not getting any royalties of his poetry work being sold for decades??

His kids don't want handouts clearly but those people making money selling his books without giving any royalties to the family should die of shame.

Is the constitution mute on such a protection?

If father is/was poet and intellectual dont mean son would be the same and He is earning halal rizq which is great deed and no shame in it ..They have right demands about recognising the work of their father

Remember its Pakistan , first need to ask ex Khadem e ala. Who recite his poetry on the advice of her pretty wife in jalsa.... please pay some money and deliver with respect. Like her daughter said in her interview , ex CM of Punjab set a stipend of 25000 rupee. But, to get this 25000 rupee we need to pass of multiple humiliating stages . So, I refused to take that money .

All the publishers who published his work since his death should be made to pay the family royalties. This won't be difficult to determine who all published his work and how many copies were produced and sold.

Further to that, his daughter was also running PCO and now driving CREEM to earn bread n butter.

Hopefully, weak institutions those who do accountability.

 

[Thorough Pro]

Why?
Because his father was a poet?
What about other Pakistanis?
Tomorrow you would say the same for incompetent offspring of Zardari, NS or any other corrupt famous personality.
There should be no special treatment for anyone. Period.
Only merit, dedication and hard work.

Well, if they there qualification meet some job requirement then govt should help them out.

Songs, Books and Software have no intellectual protection in Pakistan

 

[crankthatskunk]

In any other country this should not be news. But in Pakistan where a mentally retard corrupt thug, going by the name of Shahbaz Butt, worth billions, reads poetry of a poverty stricken poet, it is a news.
If son of a poor father, according to Shahbaz Butt, can become trillionaire in Pakistani rupees, then why not a son of a poverty stricken poet!!!
Food for thought!!
