Mehr-e-Doneem, his first collections of Urdu poems, was published in 1983, and since then several editions of his book have been published in Karachi, Delhi and London.
His poems appear in various Urdu magazines and periodicals throughout the Urdu literary world and have been translated into other languages, as English, Russian, German, Persian, Hindi.
With his unabashed liking for classical imagery and diction, to which he has added a new dimension, Iftikhar Arif is at heart a poet of defiance and a champion of the deprived. For him poetry is a means of restoring human dignity and hope in a fragmented world.
