Good Morning @JanaCon, I welcome you on behalf of management and hope you will enjoy staying with us :)

You already know much about Sayyida Sardar Akhtar Begum. Yes! She was a well known poetess of her era, but unfortunately unfortunately , like many others Poets/Poetess , her writings & whereabouts are not available on the internet as much as it should be. The Best way to get info about Akhtar begum, you should visit any well-known library. The best source to get authentic information، coz many libraries have such relics from which good information about such poets and other personalities can be obtained. I will share with you as much as I know about her. Maybe it will help you a little.

Syeda Akhtar was a famous poetess and prose writer of her time. Her real name is Sardar Begum. She had a strong passion for national service. She was a good speaker, she was given the address of Khatiba Hind and Zehra Sukhan. She used to present her national and Ameliorative poems in poetry and speeches in meetings with great enthusiasm. First she was active in the Khaksaar Movement, then she became the president of the All India Women's Muslim League.

Her ancestors belonged to Lucknow also Lakhnow, Emigrated and settled in Hyderabad. Her grandfather's name was Azam Jang Bahadur. She was four years old when her father passed away :( and her uncle raised her. After her early education in Persian and Urdu at home, entered a school named Mehboobia. In 1932, she married Abdul Mughni, the chief of Naseerabad (Rajputana) and a government contractor. Mostly she lived in Kanpur, she used to write Hyderabadi under her own name.

After marriage, she turned to poetry. In the beginning, there was a trend of romantic poetry. After that, when she became active in the Khaksaar movement, she started to write national and revolutionary poems which became very popular at that time. She traveled to the Far East in 1938, studied the lives of women there, and returned to work harder for reform of woman of Barre-Sagheer Asia. She was very much influenced by Allama Muhammad Iqbal, the national poet of Pakistan. Her famous books are Akhtar o Iqbal & Nigarshaat e Akhtar. May be you can get it from any e-library. sorry I'm not sure about that.

In 1943, a grand Mushaira and conference was held in Bangalore, all the expenses of which were by Syeda Akhtar.The chronicle of this incedent was published in several edition of the ''Mahnaama Shayir'' (ماہنامہ شاعر) Agra in the year 1943. You may get her poetry and biography from such editions.
I have read almost two to three Ghazals of her so far. because I think, there is not much about her poetry. these are two of em which are written in Tazkira Shayiraat e Urdu; May be this book contain more pieces of her poetry. but i just remembered these two.


حق سے ہوا تھا کبھی سینۂ عالم گداز
مجھ کو سنا دیجئے پھر وہ نوا ہائے راز

ذوق طلب ہے تو پھر سود و زیاں سے گزر
راہ وفا میں نہ کر فکر نشیب و فراز

آ ہی گئی تھی آج نیند سنگ در یار پر
بے خودیٔ آرزو عمر ہو تیری دراز

پھر دل بیتاب کو چاہئے سوز و گداز
مطرب آتش نفس چھیڑ چھیڑ اور اپنا راز

کہہ چکے سب حال دل بارگہۂ دوست میں
اخترؔ خاموش چھیڑ تو بھی حدیث نیاز

************************************
In ki bhi Aankh ho gayi Josh e alam sey aaj tar
main ney uthayi q nigaah, aalem e dard main udhr :D
one of fvrt couplets of this Ghazal🤓 @Kavi
عالم رنگ و نغمہ میں کیف بہت سہی مگر
بے خود سیر کائنات اپنی طرف بھی اک نظر

ان کی بھی آنکھ ہو گئی جوش الم سے آج تر
میں نے اٹھائی کیوں نگاہ، عالمِ درد میں ادھر

یوں نہ پہنچ سکے گا تو ان کی حریم ناز میں
عشق کی تیغ تیز سے عقل سے پہلے جنگ کر

شکل حسیں دکھائے جا پردۂ درمیاں اٹھا
شوق مِرا ہے پارسا عشق مَرا ہے معتبر

میرے تمیز شوق کو ایک زمانہ چاہئے
تیرا لہو ابھی ہے سرد میری نوا ہے گرم تر

آہ شراب شوق کا کیف بہت عجیب ہے
وہ ہیں کہ مجھ سے بے نیاز اور میں ان سے بے خبر

تیری فغاں نے کر دیا سینۂ گل کو چاک چاک
اخترؔ خوش نوا خموش اخترؔ خوش نوا ٹھہر
