Renowned young Balochi-language poet Majeed Ajiz reportedly passed away on Friday morning after suffering a heart attack in Muscat, Oman, according to confirmation from a close friend.
Majeed Ajiz, who hailed from Balicha, Tump, was widely regarded as one of the most popular voices among the younger generation of Balochi poets. He gained significant recognition for his romantic poetry infused with revolutionary themes, which resonated strongly with youth audiences and literary circles.
Despite a relatively short literary career, he established a strong artistic identity, with his poetry widely shared and recited across social media platforms and within literary gatherings. His work earned him a growing following and positioned him as an influential emerging figure in contemporary Balochi literature.
Sources said Ajiz had been living in exile for more than a decade due to the deteriorating political situation, spending recent years abroad. His sudden death has been described by literary observers as a major and tragic loss for Balochi poetry and literature.
Writers, readers, and admirers have expressed deep grief over his passing, noting that his literary contributions and poetic voice will be remembered for years to come.
