UTOPIA

Abu Zafor khan

Abu Zafor Khan is a prominent poet, writer, humanist, physiaian and organiser. Standing on the bank of the river at ebb, Abu Zafor Khan, a word painter and worshipper of heavenly scenic beauty envisages an aura of the golden bird floating on the burning boat. He craves for the reappearence of the fair damsel being impelled by the attraction of her soil and portrays the flight of the beautiful bird on the bosom of the river immersed in dirts. Thus Abu Zafor Khan manifests his individual identity as a poet and word painter. He is an exceptional poet of his contemporaries . He came of a decent family on the 31st January in the village Sayedpur of Sujanagar Upazilla under the District of Pabna. He spent his boyhood in close contact with nature and as an agile lad sitting by the rural lane of the field gathered an exotic experience of enjoying the coming back of the birds to their nests in the twillight. He discovered the appearance of pain brooding over the glow of the moon-blanched land. He lost himself in the far off unknown world of imagination.The tranquil beauty of the hills, the rivers, the seas and the melodies of the birds incessantly attract him. While studying medical Scince, he was always in the pursuit of inner world. His ardent desire to impenetrate the mystic world elevated him to the height of ideallic dream and purity, and perceiptive mind, and opened up a vista of unparalleled beauty of surrealism before him. Thus he has gradually grown up as a writer. At the age of thirteen, he wrote his first poem which was published in the school Wall-magazine. His first novel came into being at his sixteen. Unfortunately it went lost. His love for writing and dreamy poetic word embody his poetic soul. What makes Abu Zafor Khan exceptional as a poet is his artistic presentaion of the keen observation of the everyday happenings, of the course of life, of true picture of life and of the inner agonies of man. His writngs echo the powerful voice of his conscientious mind. His writings unfold his times connecting the sensibility of life in asthetics. The writer approaches life through the light of love and humanity. Thus he overtly spells out that love has its own darkness too. Abu Zafor Khan is a government physician.
