When you think about the Urdu literature, you won’t be finished without mentioning the worthwhile efforts that some of the great people like Ashfaq Ahmad , Shafiqur Rehman, Mustansir Hussain Tarar , Manto and many others, have made for the survival of the Urdu Adab. Ibne –safi a renowned writer, who was basically from India and then shifted to Pakistan, has done lot of good to the fiction writing in which he has done some exceptional work in mystery . He has also worked a great deal in the short articles. Imran series and Jasoosi Duniya are the two main books that brought a great fame to him.
Just Like Urdu Adab, Urdu poetry has also attained a prestigious place for itself, the reason of this surge is that Urdu poetry is so multi-dimensional and multi-colored that it fits in every field of life. To make matters more interesting, funny Urdu poetry also played its part.

If his poetry can bring smiles on your faces then he also posses the ability to bring the feel of heart breaking on your face. These people are certainly the gems of Pakistani poetry and adab.
