Ghulam Abbas Saghar

A New Voice of Dual-Language Fiction

Ghulam Abbas Saghar (born 8 March 1992 in Jhelum, Punjab, Pakistan) is a bilingual novelist and poet writing in Urdu and English. His works explore memory, love, loss, and the spiritual psychology of human experience.

Growing up by the calm banks of the Jhelum River, Saghar was deeply influenced by the poetic legacy of his father, Muhammad Munir Saghar, whose verses first introduced him to the power of language. Educated in Jhelum and Lahore, he later settled in Blackburn, Lancashire, United Kingdom, where he continues to write and publish across cultures.

His major works include the novels A Heart Remembers, The Line That Divided Worlds, and The Shadow of Blood, each blending Urdu lyricism with English psychological realism. Saghar’s writing bridges East and West—echoing Sufi introspection while exploring modern human conflict.

In addition to fiction, he has contributed poetry, essays, and reflections on identity, exile, and belonging. Critics have called him “a voice born in the silence of Jhelum that speaks to the world.”
