Hasrat Mohani, whose full name was Syed Fazlul Hasan, was a prominent Indian Urdu poet, freedom fighter, and politician during the pre-independence era. He was born on 14 October 1878 in Mohan, Unnao district, Uttar Pradesh, India, and he passed away on 13 May 1951.
Hasrat Mohani was known for his revolutionary poetry, which often expressed the aspirations for freedom and social justice. He played a significant role in the Indian freedom movement and was associated with the Khilafat Movement and the Indian National Congress. He was an advocate of Hindu-Muslim unity and worked closely with leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Maulana Abul Kalam Azad.
One of his most famous poetic compositions is "Mazhab nahi sikhata aapas mein bair rakhna" (Religion does not teach us to bear ill-will against each other), which underscores the message of communal harmony and unity.
Hasrat Mohani was also a member of the Constituent Assembly of India and later served as a member of the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of the Indian Parliament, until his death. His contributions to literature, politics, and the freedom struggle continue to be remembered and celebrated in India.
