The seventh death anniversary of renowned Urdu poet Ada Jafri is being observed today (Saturday).

Born in Badayun, India, in 1924, she migrated to Karachi with her husband after the partition of the subcontinent.

Ada Jafri was the first major published woman poet in Urdu, which is why she is often referred to as the 'First Lady of Urdu poetry.'

She was the recipient of several awards, including the 'Baba-e-Urdu Award' from the Pakistan Academy of Letters.

The renowned poet died on this day in 2015.
