Darshan Singh Awara (1906 – 10.12.1982), the son of Atar Singh Chhabra, was born at village Kala Gujjaran (district Jhelum, Pakistan). He was a revolutionary poet. His first book of verses, Bijli Di Karak, was confiscated by the British regime, in 1923. He translated Tuzak-i-Jahngiri, Tuzak-i-Babari, Aain-i-Akbari, Masir-i-Aalamgiri and a few other books too. Several of his poems had been published in Akali, Pritam, Phulwari and the other journals, under different names and his pseudonym. In the later years of his life, he became an atheist and wrote against religious beliefs.
