Zafar Iqbal was born in Okara, Pakistan on 27th Sep 1933. He is a lawyer by profession and associated with different newspaper as well, where his articles are published regularly. Zafar is known for his rare style of poetry, in the genre of ghazal. The diction of his ghazals is entirely different from traditional Urdu poetry that distinguishes him from the rest.About his experiments in language, which some critics appreciate, others criticize, he says he has used words of various local languages such as Punjabi, Sindhi, Pashto and Balochi to express a particular thought.

'Even his first couplet, which he wrote when he was a student of the Government College Lahore, is very popular.
