Ustad Daman (اُستاد دامن), چِراغ دِین), was a Punjabi poet, writer and a mystic.
“At the time of 1947 Partition of British India, his shop and house were burned down by rioting mobs and his wife and young daughter were killed. However, Ustad Daman decided to stay in Lahore and the newly created country of Pakistan. He then never remarried and lived the rest of his life in a small room in the ‘Old Lahore’. He remained, throughout his life, a fierce opponent of dictatorship, civilian or military, and all corruption and hypocrisy.”
