SHIV KUMAR BATALVI
SHIV KUMAR LIVE
Shiv Kumar Batalvi (born July 23, 1936 in Bara Pind Lohtian, Shakargarh Tehsil, Punjab [now in Pakistani Punjab], died May 7, 1973 in Kir Mangyal, Pathankot, Punjab) was a giant on the 20th century Punjabi poetry scene.
Widely known as the "King of Solitude", Shiv was a young man of barely 20 years of age when he appeared as a star on the national scene. By living a brief and intense life that was devoted to writing deeply profound, passionate and enchantingly lyrical poetic expressions of the pathos of his time, and dying young at the age of 36, a fate that he had predicted and romanticized throughout his poetry, he attained the charisma of a modern day saint and a fallen hero in the eyes of many of his admirers.
