Naseer Turabi, son of the orator Rasheed Turabi, wrote sparingly and polished hard: one collection, "Aks-e-Fariyadi", carries his reputation. His ghazal "wo humsafar tha magar us se hum-navai na thi", written on the fall of Dhaka in 1971, became world-famous decades later as a television serial's title song. He was also a lexicographer and scholar of Urdu's idiom.
