“Rahi breathed his last in the early hours at his residence in the Nowshera area of the city,” an official said.

Born on May 6, 1925, Rahi wrote several collections of poems and translated the works of some of the celebrated poets in other languages into Kashmiri.

He received the highest literary award of the country – Jnanpith award – in 2007 for his collection ‘Siyah Rood Jaeren Manz’ (In Black Drizzle). He was also conferred the Padma Shri award in 2000 for his works.

Rahi received the Sahitya Akademi Award for his collection of poems ‘Nawroz-i-Saba’ in 1961.

He translated the works of Baba Farid into Kashmiri, while Dina Nath Naadim’s influence was apparent in his early works.
