Innu kinne paani ditta, innu kinne boya aey
Patthar de jo seene uttey, boota ugya hoya aey
[Who watered it, who bestrew it,
The plant that grew on a heart of stone]
- Munawar Shakeel
I was flicking through my facebook timeline and I came to read a beautiful story on a Punjabi cobbler who is the award-winning writer. Mr. Rizwan Safdar has done a great job by discovering such souls.
Munawar Shakeel, who has been repairing the shoes of the villagers for three decades now. But in recent years, his customers are less interested in getting their shoes repaired and more interested in listening to his verses on the sweet and bitter realities of life.
Munawar is a poet.
Munawar Shakeel, a cobbler, who sells newspaper during the day, earns 250 to 300 per day and saves Rs. 10 each day to get his book published. His first book "Soch Samandar" was published in 2004. His second book "Pardes Di Sangat" was published in 2005; third book "Saddiyan De Bhait" in 2009; fourth book "Jhora Dhap Gawachi Da" in 2011; and fifth "Akhaan Mitti Ho Gaiyaan" was published in 2013. They are all award-winning books.

Truly inspirational story. One such story from India - Chaiwala (Teaseller) - Laxman Rao who has written 24 hindi novels.

वो जो हँसते हुए दिखते है न लोग
अक्सर वो कुछ तन्हा से होते है
पराये अहसासों को लफ़्ज देतें है
खुद के दर्द पर खामोश रहते है
जो पोछतें दूसरे के आँसू अक्सर
खुद अँधेरे में तकिये को भिगोते है
वो जो हँसते हुए दिखते है लोग
अक्सर वो कुछ तन्हा से होते है
