Mustafa Zaidi (Urdu: مصطفیٰ زیدی) (1930–1970) was a progressive Urdu poet whose work and literary accomplishments remain popular and relevant today.[citation needed] He was born on 16 October 1930 in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh (UP), India to Lakhte Hasnain and Binte Haider. His father was a senior official in the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the UP Province, with roots in Meman Saadat, a village in district Bijnor. Mustafa Zaidi grew up in a household with five elder half brothers and was the second of three full brothers.
Mustafa Zaidi received his early religious education at home from a local scholar, and also at a local Madrassa in Allahabad. From 1936 to 1945, he attended the Modern High School in Allahabad, where he passed his High School examination in 1945 with second division and a distinction in Urdu.[citation needed] He was the Secretary of the Urdu Literary Society (Bazm-e-Urdu). He then attended the Ewing Christian College, Allahabad, and passed the Intermediate exam of the Board of High School and Intermediate Education, UP, in the first division in 1948. In 1950, he was awarded a first class Bachelor of Arts degree holding the 6th position from Allahabad University.[citation needed] He also won prestigious accolades such as Professor Dunn's Gold Medal, Dr. R.N Bhatia's Medal, and Iqbal Gold Medal.[citation needed] After completing his MA, he migrated to Pakistan in 1951 and completed his Master's degree in English Literature in 1953 from Government College, Lahore.
Zaidi gained jobs as professor in Islamia Science College, Karachi, and the University of Peshawar before entering the Civil Service of Pakistan in 1954. After his initial appointments as Assistant Commissioner of Sialkot, Dera Ghazi Khan and Murree, he remained Deputy Commissioner in Jhelum, Nawabshah, Khairpur, Sahiwal and Lahore. During his career, he received the prestigious civil award of Tamgha-e-Quaid-e-Azam for outstanding service.[citation needed] He attended Muffield Foundation training in London and returned to Pakistan in 1969 to take up what would be his last post as Secretary (Bunyadi Jamhooriat).
