Abdul Ahad Azad was one of the well known Kashmiri poets of his era. He was one of the pioneers of the modernist movement. Azad is often referred to as John Keats of kashmir. Both Keats and Azad wrote modernist poems and both died in early forties. Abdul Ahad Azad was one of the most overtly political and nationalist poets in the Kashmiri language.

But Azad's nationalist sentiment is tempered by his socialism.

Abdul Ahad Dar ( – 4 April ), popularly known as Abdul Ahad Azad, was a Kashmiri poet, historian and literary critic.

Azad was a Marxist and also wrote one of the most influential literary histories of Kashmiri in the Urdu language. Azad was closely associated with the progressive strand of the Kashmiri nationalist movement in the s. Azad critiques religious orthodoxy in his poetry and his Shikwa-e-Iblees caused considerable controversy. In modern times 'Azad' has very laudably and all the more, very loudly beckoned to man to derive inspiration from the evergreen nature around him, and consequently tame his animality to reach upto such heavenly heights.

Abdul Ahad Azad () was a well known Kashmiri poet of the twentieth century.

He, essentially, is a poet of human values bemoaning the shortcomings and inhibitions under which Man is constrained to count his days; but at the same time, inspring him to know his own self as well its his compatriot, which only can usher in an era of mental peace and worldly affluence for him. He has not woven songs of sorrow, but has always wafted an aroma of optimistic rosy future through his pulsating imagination.

He has consequently opted for finding an asylum in the future, disdaining the unpalatable present. He may, therefore be called a poet of morrow. It might well be contended that this kind of ostrich-like behaviour on the part of the poet may sound as self-defeat and hence is a left-handed compliment.
