A Study of Tazkira Lutufi
Abstract
Tazkira is derived from an Arabic word Zikr. Tazkira was initiated
in Sind in Soomra period and the literary history of Sind was written on
the basis of Tazkiras. Hidayatullah Tarik Najfi authored the first Tazkira,
in Sindhi, which was translated into Urdu by Muhammad Hufeez-urRehman Hafeez and he got it published as Tazkira Shuara-e-Sind. After
this, Moulana Deen Muhammad Wafai wrote Tazkira Mashaheer Sind.
Tazkiras are written in different patterns in Sindhi: some are
ordered according to periods, some according to years, some are
ordered alphabetically, and some are without any specific order. Tazkira
is also basically history and one has to pass through various phases of
research to write a Tazkira. Tazkira Lutufi occupies the prominent place
among such Tazkiras. This research article presents a review of the book:
Tazkira Lutufi. Its first edition containing 13 chapters appeared in 1943.
It was published by R H Ahmed and Brothers in Hyderabad. This study
critically analyzes merits and certain drawbacks of the book within the
