Biography

Early life

Kapoor was born in undivided India in Lyallpur (now Faisalabad) a part of Pakistan. He finished his Primary education in a local school where he got a chance to learn Farsi language. He completed is metric from Kamalia goverment school in 1928. He completed his Bachelor of Arts from DAV college Lahore. There he was found to be excellent in English and Sanskrit and he chose English as a choice for doing his Master of Arts. He completed his Master of Arts in the year 1934. During his M.A he got married to Srimati Pushpavati in the year 1931.

Expanded description

During his admission in Master of Arts he was interviewed by Patras Bokhari , one of the foremost humorists of Urdu and on seeing him he said "aap hamesha itane hee lambe nazar aate hain ya aaj kuch khaas intezaam karake aae hain" meaning Do you always appear this tall or you have done something special today ? Since he was 6.5 feet tall.

Patras Bokhari was impressed by Kapoor's wit and humor and encouraged him to write in Urdu. He was also a fan of Krishan Chander when he was informed that he lives in same hostel. Inspired by them he started writing Urdu satires. Infact his first parody was on Krishan chanders Yarkan, which Krishan chander liked but he never published that.

Before partition he worked as a lecturer in D.A.V college Lahore from 1934 to 1947. After partition he left Lahore migrated to Ferozpur and then Moga in Punjab where he was appointed as lecturer in 1947 and retired as a principal of DM College in Moga. He served as a principal from 1964 to 1973. He was also a Founding member and principal of AD College in Dharamkot(Moga) from 1973 to 1975 before he moved to Jalhandhar in 1978 and then Poona from 1979 to 1980.

He continued his writings in form of Urdu satire and writing columns in Punjab Kesari and Hind Samachar. His column "main dekhta chala gaya" was very famous. His work got a lot of appreciation across the country.

Kapoor, along with Shafeeq-ur-Rahman, is one of Urdu’s prominent parodists. His other parodies include ‘Saleem and Anarkali’, ‘Chaar malangon ki daastaan’, ‘Jaana Hatim Tai ka’ and ‘Mir ki shaeri ka nafsiyaati tajzia’. In these parodies, he mostly satirised the writers and literary trends of Urdu. But his ‘Urdu adab ka aakhri daur’ (the last era of Urdu literature) is a parody of Muhammad Hussain Azad’s famous work Aab-e-hayat. Progressive poets and writers often became the butt of his satire and his article ‘Comrade Sheikh Chilli’ is a good example of it.

Some of his famous works include Urdu: Sango-o-Kisht[5] (1942) , chang-o-rubab[6] (1944) , sheesha-o-teesha[7] (1946), Nae-Shugoofay [8](1988), Bal-o-par[9] (1954) , Gard-eKarwan[10] (1960) , Gustakhiyan [11] (1965) , Urdu ka behtarin Hasya Vyang[12] (Republished on 22 July 1979) and his collection of poetry[13] . Some of his notable comedy Hindi books include Hasya-chalisa (1966) and commorade sheikh chilli (1968)

Some of his Punjabi books include Dekh kabira roya (1973) , Bhul-Chuk (1967), Moge Di Muskaan and Til-Phul(1964)
