&lt;br /&gt;
==Biography==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shiv Kumar Batalvi was born on 23 July 1936 (though a few documents related to him state 8 October 1937) in village [[Barapind|Bara Pind Lohtian]], [[Shakargarh Tehsil]], [[Sialkot]] District (now in [[Punjab, Pakistan|Punjab]] province, [[Pakistan]]), to Pandit Krishan Gopal, village [[tehsildar]] in the revenue department, and Shanti Devi, a housewife.{{citation needed|date=December 2014}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1947, when he was aged 11, his family moved to [[Batala]], [[Gurdaspur district]] after [[partition of India]], where his father continued his work as a [[patwari]] and young Shiv received his primary education.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.tribuneindia.com/2000/20000430/spectrum/main2.htm#3 Shiv Kumar Batalvi] &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[The Tribune (Chandigarh)|The Tribune]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, 30 April 2000.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Allegedly, he was a dreamy child, often vanishing for the duration of the day, to be found lying under trees by the riverbank close to the [[Mandir]] or Hindu temple outside the village, lost in a brown reverie. He appears to have been fascinated by local renditions of the Hindu epic &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Ramayana]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, as well as wandering [[minstrel]] singers, [[snake charmers]] and the like&amp;amp;nbsp;– which feature as metaphors in his poetry, giving it a uniquely rural flavour.{{citation needed|date=December 2014}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Personal life ===&lt;br /&gt;
He met a girl named Maina at a fair in [[Baijnath, Himachal Pradesh|Baijnath]]. When he went back to look for her in her hometown, he heard the news of her death and wrote his elegy Maina. This episode was to prefigure numerous other partings that would serve as material to distil into poems. Perhaps the most celebrated such episode is his fascination for Gurbaksh Singh Preetlari&amp;#039;s daughter who left for the US and married someone else. When he heard of the birth of her first child, Shiv wrote &amp;#039;Main ik shikra yaar banaya&amp;#039;, perhaps his most famous love poem. It&amp;#039;s said that when she had her second child, someone asked Shiv whether he would write another poem. Shiv replied &amp;quot;Have I become responsible for her? Am I to write a poem on her every time she gives birth to a child?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The poem &amp;#039;Main ek shikra yaar banaya&amp;#039; is in the Punjabi Language, the English translation of this poem is also equally beautiful.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://sarkarinaukri.ws/maye-ni-maiye-shiv-kumar-batalvi-songs-english/|title=Maye Ni Maiye - Shiv Kumar Batalvi Songs - English Translation - Sarkari Naukri|date=27 June 2020}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Shiv Kumar Batalvi&amp;#039;s poems have been sung by famous singers such as Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Ghulam Ali, Jagjit Singh, Hans Raj Hans, and many others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 5 February 1967 he married, Aruna,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.tribuneindia.com/2003/20030508/cth1.htm#7 Batalvi’s better half comes calling] &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[The Tribune (Chandigarh)|The Tribune]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, 8 May 2003.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; a Brahmin girl from his own caste. She is from [[Kiri Mangyal]], [[Gurdaspur district]], and later the couple had two children, Meharban (1968) and Puja (1969).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Education===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He completed his matriculation in 1953, from [[Panjab University, Chandigarh|Panjab University]], and enrolled in the F.Sc. program at Baring Union Christian College, [[Batala]], though before completing his degree he moved to S.N. College, [[Qadian]], where he joined the Arts program more suited to his persona, though he left that too in the second year. Thereafter he joined a school at [[Baijnath, Himachal Pradesh]] to do a diploma in Civil Engineering, here again he left it in the middle.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Sikh&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[http://www.sikh-heritage.co.uk/arts/shiv%20batalvi/Shiv%20batalvi.htm Shiv Kumar Batalvi] &amp;#039;&amp;#039;sikh-heritage.co.uk&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Next he studied for some time at Govt. Ripudaman College, [[Nabha]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Youngest recipient of Sahitya Akademi Award===&lt;br /&gt;
Later in life, his father got a job as [[patwari]] at Qadian, it was during this period, that he produced some of his best work. His first anthology of poems was published in 1960, titled &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Piran da Paraga&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (The Scarf of Sorrows), which became an instant success. Some senior writers of Batlaviji, including [[Jaswant Singh Rahi]], Kartar Singh Balgan and Barkat Ram Yumman, as the saying goes, took him under their wings. In 1965, he became the youngest recipient of the [[Sahitya Akademi Award]] in 1967, for his [[Masterpiece|magnum opus]], a [[verse play]] &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Loona&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1965).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.sahitya-akademi.gov.in/old_version/awa10316.htm#punjabi Sahitya Akademi Award Punjabi 1957–2007] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090331234058/http://www.sahitya-akademi.gov.in/old_version/awa10316.htm|date=31 March 2009}} &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Sahitya Akademi Award]] Official listings.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; His poetry recitations, and singing his own verse, made he and his work even more popular amongst the masses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soon after his marriage, in 1968, he shifted to [[Chandigarh]], where he joined the [[State Bank of India]], as a PRO. In the following years, bad health plagued him, though he continued to write prolifically.{{citation needed|date=December 2014}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trip to England===&lt;br /&gt;
In May 1972, Shiv visited [[England]] on the invitation of Dr. Gupal Puri and Mrs. Kailash Puri. He had been looking forward to his first trip abroad as a welcome relief from the drudgery of his life in [[Chandigarh]]. When he arrived in England, his popularity and fame had already reached a high point among the Punjabi community. His arrival was announced in the local Indian papers with headlines and pictures. [Takhar. Int. 2002]. He spent a busy time in England. A number of public functions and private parties were arranged in his honour where he recited his poetry. Dr. Gupal Puri arranged the first large function in Coventry, near London, to welcome Shiv. A large number of his fans and Punjabi poets, including Santokh Singh Dhir, Kuldip Takhar and Tarsem Purewal and many others attended this function. Another large gathering was organised at Rochester (Kent) in his honour. The famous artist S. Sobha Singh was also present who had travelled on his own expense to see Shiv. His engagements in England were regularly reported in the local Indian media and the BBC Television once interviewed him. While Punjabi community got their opportunity to listen to Shiv on various occasions, his stay in London proved to be the last straw for his failing health. He would stay late and continue to drink until 2:00 or 2:30 in the morning at parties or at home engaged in discussions with his hosts and other people who would come to visit him. He would wake up after a short sleep around 4:00 A.M. and begin his day by again taking a couple of sips of Scotch.[Kaur 1998].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Final days===&lt;br /&gt;
When Shiv returned from England in September 1972, his health had declined visibly. He was now bitterly complaining about the undue criticism of his poetry by the progressive and leftist writers. He openly started talking about his disappointment at the unjustified condemnation of his poetry. [Gargi 2000 &amp;#039;Surme Walee Akhah&amp;#039; ]. Within a couple of months after his return from England, his health started sinking, never to recover again. He was in a dire financial predicament during those days and felt that most of his friends had deserted him in his time of need. His wife Arun, somehow managed to get him admitted in a hospital in Sector 16 of Chandigarh where he received treatment for a few days. A couple of months later, he was admitted in a hospital in Amritsar, but left it on his own against the advice of his doctors. He didn&amp;#039;t want to die in a hospital and simply walked out of the hospital and went to his family home in Batala. He was later shifted to the village of his in-laws, Kiri Mangial, a small village near the border with Pakistan. Shiv Kumar Batalvi died in Kiri Mangial during the early morning hours of 6 May 1973.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Death==&lt;br /&gt;
After Shiv Kumar Batalvi returned from his England tour in 1972, he got affected by liver cirrhosis. His health issues put the family in a financial crisis. This was possibly the reason Shiv Kumar Batalvi along with his wife Aruna Batalvi moved to Shiv&amp;#039;s maternal village, where he breathed his last.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/life-style/a-wife-remembers/584735.html A wife remembers] &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[The Tribune]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, 6 May 2018.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Legacy==&lt;br /&gt;
One of his anthology, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Alvida&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (Farewell) was published posthumously in 1974, by the [[Guru Nanak Dev University]], [[Amritsar]]. &amp;#039;Shiv Kumar Batalvi Award&amp;#039; for Best Writer, is given each year.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.tribuneindia.com/2003/20031021/ldh2.htm 7 Punjabi writers, folk singers honoured] &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[The Tribune (Chandigarh)|The Tribune]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, 21 October 2003.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.tribuneindia.com/2002/20020416/region.htm Shiv Kumar Batalvi Award] &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[The Tribune (Chandigarh)|The Tribune]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, 16 April 2002.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==In media==&lt;br /&gt;
Many of his poems were sung by Deedar Singh Pardesi. [[Jagjit Singh]]-[[Chitra Singh]], and Surinder Kaur, have also sung many of his poems.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://readerswords.wordpress.com/2006/05/07/shiv-kumar-batalvi/ Shiv Kumar Batalvi]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan]]&amp;#039;s rendition of one of his poem &amp;quot;Maye Ni Maye&amp;quot; is known for its soulfulness and imagery. [[Rabbi Shergill]]&amp;#039;s debut album [[Rabbi (album)|Rabbi]] (2004) features his poem &amp;quot;Ishtihar&amp;quot;. [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]] folk singer, [[Hans Raj Hans]] also did a popular album, &amp;#039;Gham&amp;#039;, on the poetry of Shiv Kumar. In 2005, a compilation album was released, titled, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Ek Kudi Jida Naa Mohabbat... &amp;#039;Shiv Kumar Batalvi&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, with numbers sung by [[Mahendra Kapoor]], [[Jagjit Singh]] and [[Asa Singh Mastana]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000VEOV6O &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Ek Kudi Jida Naa Mohabbat...&amp;#039;&amp;#039;] &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Amazon.com]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2004, Punjabi play titled &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Dardaan Da Darya&amp;#039;&amp;#039; based on the life of Shiv Kumar was performed at &amp;#039;Punjab Kala Bhavan&amp;#039;, [[Chandigarh]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://cities.expressindia.com/fullstory.php?newsid=86249 In the deep sea of power, and poetry of pain, pathos] &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Indian Express]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, 1 June 2004.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Several of his poems have been adapted for movies, e.g. &amp;quot;Ajj Din Chhadeya Tere Rang Varga,&amp;quot; was adapted in 2009 [[Hindi]] movie [[Love Aaj Kal]] which became an instant hit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2012, Album titled &amp;quot;Panchee Ho javan&amp;quot; based on a same-titled poem written by Shiv Kumar Batalvi was sung by [[Jasleen Royal]] and the album also contains another song &amp;quot;Maye Ni&amp;quot; based on the poem &amp;quot;Maye Ni Maye&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2014, rap duo &amp;quot;Swet Shop Boys&amp;quot;, consisting of Indo-American Himanshu Suri, and British Pakistani Riz Ahmed, released a song entitled &amp;quot;Batalvi&amp;quot; which sampled Shiv Kumar Batalvi&amp;#039;s own recitation of &amp;quot;Ikk Kudi Jihda Naam Mohabbat Ghum Hai&amp;quot; from an interview done with Aikam TV in the early 1970s. The song&amp;#039;s lyrics explore issues regarding cultural identity faced by many second-generation south Asians living in the west.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also in 2014, Pakistani pop singer Sarmad Qadeer scored a hit single on the official Asian Download chart in the UK with his interpretation of &amp;quot;Maiye Ni Maiye&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.officialcharts.com/charts/asian-download-chart/ Asian Download Chart]. officialcharts.com&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His poem &amp;quot;Ikk Kudi Jihda Naam Mohabbat Ghum Hai&amp;quot; was made into a song featured in [[Udta Punjab]]. Featuring [[Alia Bhatt]], it was sung by [[Shahid Mallya]] and later reprised by [[Diljit Dosanjh]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2016, Punjabi rapper [[Kay Kap]]&amp;#039;s album &amp;quot;Kaagaz&amp;quot; featured a song entitled &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Pind Bewafaayiyaan&amp;#039;&amp;#039; which was inspired &amp;amp; conceptualized from Shiv Kumar Batalvi&amp;#039;s poem &amp;quot;Ikk Kudi Jihda Naam Mohabbat Ghum Hai&amp;quot;. The song&amp;#039;s lyrics concluded from the lost girl named &amp;#039;Mohabbat (Love)&amp;#039; belonging to the village named &amp;#039;Bewafaayiyaan (Betrayal)&amp;#039; thus, giving birth to a new theory based on Shiv Kumar&amp;#039;s poetry that forms a different set of consequences.&lt;br /&gt;
