Profile of Zubaida Sultana
Identity: Popular Novelist
Zubaida Sultana was born into a distinguished literary and scholarly family in Lahore. Her grandfather, Dr. Muhammad Husain Khan, was among the founders of Edward College, Lahore, where he taught Human Anatomy. Her father, Khan Ahmad Husain, was a Sahib-e-Diwan poet, novelist, short story writer, and editor of the renowned Urdu monthly Shabab-e-Urdu. Growing up in such an intellectual environment greatly nurtured her literary interests.
She began her literary career at a remarkably young age. Her first children's story, "Padash," was published in Shabab-e-Urdu. Thereafter, her articles and stories appeared regularly in the magazine, and in 1931, while still a student, she joined its editorial board. Her early short story collections, Nijat-e-Rangin and Shabistan-e-Alam, were published soon afterwards. From 1960 onward, she devoted herself to novel writing and went on to write dozens of novels.
Among her most popular social and romantic novels are Safw (1969), Rubab (1971), Tooba (1974), Chhoti Begum, Rang-e-Junoon, Tahira, and Ruhana. These works earned a prominent place in popular Urdu fiction and became widely appreciated for their portrayal of women's emotions, psychology, and social issues.
Zubaida Sultana also translated English literature into Urdu, particularly children's and suspense fiction. Her notable translations include Dariya Kinare Wala Bangla, based on a novel by Walter Scott, and Zinda Lash, translated from the Hardy Boys series.
