He lived most of his life in Pakistan and died in March 1996. As a novel writer Naseem Hijazi is regarded as one of the finest writers of Urdu language especially in the later 20th Century. Among his popular contemporaries were Ibn-e-Safi, Saadat Hasan Manto, and Shafiq Ur Rehman. All having their particular line of literature. Naseem Hijazi is popular because of his potent and romantic description of history. There are only two writers in Urdu prior to Hijazi who wrote history novels i.e. Abdul Haleem Sharar and Sadiq Sardhunwi. But Hijazi's writing is most credible in terms of history description, whatever he has written is backed by research of historical evidence and the novels are always aided with footnotes and references. Naseem Hijazi's work is mostly about islamic history. He has shown both sides of Islamic history i.e. The Rise and The Fall from grace. His novels like Muhammad Bin Qasim, Akhri Maarka, Qaiser O Qisra (Ceaser of Rome and Qisra of Persia) and Qafla-e-Hijaz describe the era of Islam's rise to political, military, economic and educational power. While Yousuf Bin Tashfin, Shaheen, Kaleesa Aur Aag (Church and Fire), and Andheri Raat Ke Musafir describe the period of Spanish Reconquista. In one of these novels (Kaleesa Aur Aag) he has painfully, yet truthfully, mirrored the infamous Inquisition that targeted Jews in the start and Moriscos or Muslims later. In Akhri Chataan, he describes the Central Asian conquests of Genghis Khan and his destruction of Khwarizm Sultanate. The novel is beautifully executed that shows the brutal conquests of the Mongols, the military geniuses of Genghis Khan, the undying will power of Sultan Jalad ad Din Khwarzim Shah and the unworthy condition of Abbassid Caliphate of Baghdad. He wrote two sequential novels on British conquest of India, and wonderfully describes the ills of India after the collapse of Mughal Empire. The story, Muazzam Ali, starts a little before the Battle of Plassey. The lead character, Muazzam Ali joins the freedom fight against the British in Siraj ud Daula's army. The story goes around as the character moves from one place of India to another in search of the lost glory and freedom. He takes part in the third war of Panipat and finally settles in Srirangapattana that was growing in power under the towering personality of Haider Ali. The book ends almost around the death of Haider Ali. The second book, Aur Talwar Toot Gayee (And the Sword is Broken) is more about Haider's son Tipu Sultan where the same character is finding his dreams being fulfilled in Tipu's valiant endeavors against the British East India Company. He also has written a novel on Independence of Pakistan named Khak Aur Khoon. Many believed that the novel was his own story.
