Ahmad NikTalab (Persian: احمد نیکطلب, Persian pronunciation: [æh.mæd ni:k.'tæ.læb]), born on April 22, 1934, and passed away on March 3, 2020, was an important Iranian poet, author, and language expert. He was also known by his pen name, Yavar Hamedani (Persian: یاور همدانی). He wrote many poems and songs that were popular in Iran.
Life of a Poet
Ahmad NikTalab was born in Hamadan, a city in Iran. He spent his early life and studied there. Later, he moved to Tehran to continue his education at Tehran University. He earned a bachelor's degree in journalism.
His first writings were published when he was young. He started publishing poems at just thirteen years old! Ahmad NikTalab was very active in groups for writers and poets. These groups included the Iranian Literary Association. He met and worked with other famous poets like Rahi Moayeri.
From the 1930s (which means the 1950s in the Western calendar), Ahmad NikTalab began working with the Radio Organization. He helped create many songs that are still loved today. Many of his local songs from Hamedan were even translated into other languages and played on Iranian radio.
He was part of the Niktalab family. His eldest son, Babak Niktalab, is also a Persian poet. His daughter is Poopak Niktalab.
After he retired, he continued to work voluntarily at the Poetry Council. This council is part of the Ministry of Culture. He worked there for 25 years to help preserve music and poetry in Iran. His office was located in Vahdat Hall.
Ahmad NikTalab passed away in Tehran at the age of 85 due to a heart attack. He was buried in the artists' section of Behesht-e Zahra cemetery.
His Poetry Collection
A collection of Yavar Hamedani's poems is called a "Divan." This book was published by the Iranian Pen Association. It includes many different styles of his poems. You can find lyric poems, odes, quatrains, and even poems written in the local Hamedani dialect. The book was released about a year after he passed away.
