Background
Born Razia Niaz in Wazirabad on 19 May 1924,[3] she spent most of her childhood in Peshawar.[4]
Career
Her name first appeared in a literary journal around 1940 when she was in her teens. She later developed her first published story into a novel, Naila.[5]
Married in 1946, Razia Butt resumed writing in 1950s after a break of some years. She was later hailed as one of the prolific writers of her time, with some 51 novels and 350 short stories to her credit.[6] She also wrote many radio plays.
Being a contemporary of many famous names in Urdu fiction writing, Razia Butt carved a niche and a market for herself by perfecting a particular brand of storytelling. Not surprisingly, many of her novels, such as Saiqa and Naila, were adapted for the big screen, and Noreena, Najia, Saiqa and Bano for TV drama serials.
Popular with many generations of readers, Razia Butt came up with an autobiography Bichhray Lamhe.[7][8]
Death
Razia Butt died in Lahore on 4 October 2012 after protracted illness.[9][10]
