Biography

At fifteen, Haidari went to Kabul, the capital city of Afghanistan where he established his literary associations with Sufi Ashqari at his bookbinding shop. Ashqari later introduced him to a group of poets who used to exchange verses while gathering in his shop. Later, he subsequently joined a public library and started working for earning purposes. During the early 1990s, the Islamic government following the Afghan Soviet withdrawal, offered him a job at an educational foundation where he used to work at periodicals section every day for one hour.[8]

Prior to start writing poetry, he served a six year military career with the Afghan Army before starting administrative work for the government in 1964? and remained associated with military service for six years, and later was appointed head of the Kabul Library where he served until 2020. After he retired from the literary service at public library, he wrote a letter to former Afghan president Hamid Karzai, requesting to construct doors and walls at a literary workplace and wished to work there for free. The president, however, accepted the offer and also issued a decree granting him permanent pay and retention.[9]
