Born Rahim Khan in 1949 in Nainital, Uttarakhand, he earned deep respect in the literary world as the prominent Urdu poet Sahil Sehri. After losing his parents at a very young age, he found comfort in words and began crafting poetry at just ten years old. As the son of the famous poet Rahmat Ali Khan Ahqar Dehlvi, he turned his difficult childhood into touching verses about inner strength, loneliness, and everyday struggles. By beautifully mixing traditional Urdu styles with modern realities, he won the hearts of readers across the Kumaon region. He passed away on July 9, 2012, leaving a significant and grounded body of work in modern Urdu poetry.

“Daraz palkein, visaal aankhein
Masawari ka kamal aankhein,
Sharab Rab ne haram rakh di
To phir kyon rakhi halal aankhein,
Hazaron in se qatl hote hain
Khuda ke bande sambhal aankhein”.
