Ameen Khayal is a very well-known writer, poet, researcher and critic of Punjabi literature. He was born in a small village 'Garjakh' of district Gujranwala in 1932. He was professionally a school teacher but had God gifted capabilities and qualities in literary art. Khayal was a very humble person and an ardent reciter of Naat since his childhood. When he was young he recited a Naat at Quaid's jalsa held in a local school and was very much praised by Quaid-e-Azam for his appealing voice, who patted him on his back. Absorbed in divine love, his poetry is full of deep emotions and feelings. His literary style is found to be very traditional and culturally rich which is obvious in his work. He has a great depth of feelings in his poetry so his verses carry inordinate effect on the hearts of people. In short he was a multitalented personality who gave us valuable literary treasure of Punjabi literature. He has written about 25 books including poetry, prose and scholarly articles. Among these books 'Sayyadi ya Rasul Ullah' and 'Siftaan Rab Rasool Dian are great works of Naat. 'Gallan Deen Islam Dian is also a very famous book of Nazm about Islamic teachings.
