Shabeeh Haider

Shabeeh Haider was born in Bahrain, and currently lives in Makkakh, with his wife and two daughters. He is currently working as an Ear Nose and Throat Surgeon in the Ministry of Health.

He prodigiously began writing poetry at the very early age of ten, and at that young age he auspiciously admired the great poets of the important Romantic Era of English poetry such as Byron, Keats and Shelley. Dr.Shabeeh Haider clearly demonstrates that he is highly familiar with English Classical Prosody, that is to say that the rhyme, rhythm and meter of a poem, should all be well balanced. This is of the utmost importance to him. Shabeeh was educated in Bahrain and his poems were first published in prestigious local magazines and newspapers in that Country. The Middle East has traditionally always reared great and promising poets, which boasts such great names as Rumi, Attar and Omar Khayam amongst others. Shabeeh's poetry shows that he promisingly follows gently in their footsteps. Later Shabeeh returned to his native country of Pakistan where he graduated as a Medical Doctor. He then began writing poetry for the best local literary magazines in his home country. Once Shabeeh graduated, there was a period when he did not write poetry at all. But fortunately for us, this 'writer's block' left, and currently he is composing once again, and has published three successful book of poems called “Vagabond Heart” "Ripples On My soul" and his latest "Paper Boats", which have been very well received with critical acclamation.

Though his poetry speaks volumes in beautiful rhymings, its his rendition of English Ghazals that casts a magic spell on his readers. To read some of his magical poetry, check the link below
