Great man. Just a short story from a late friend of mine:

A collector (respectable govt. service post) used to sit in Mushayra (urdu poetry convention.

He recited "People say the art of poetry is evil. I became collector reciting it."

People clapped.

One man replied "Crown of world was in your destiny. You remained a collector reciting it."
