'''Makhdoom Mohiuddin''', or '''Abu Sayeed Mohammad Makhdoom Mohiuddin Khudri''', (4 February 1908 – 25 August 1969) was an [[Urdu poet]] and [[Marxist]] political activist of [[India]] who founded the [[Progressive Writers Union]] in [[Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh|Hyderabad]] and was active with the [[Comrades Association]] and the [[Communist Party of India]], and at the forefront of the 1946–1947 [[Telangana Rebellion]] against the [[Nizam]] of the erstwhile [[Hyderabad state]].<br />

Mohiuddin lectured at the City College in 1934 and taught Urdu literature. He was the founder of the Communist Party in Andhra Pradesh. Therefore, he is regarded as a Freedom Fighter of India.

''Bisat-e-Raqs'' is a complete collection of Makhdoom's verse including his two earlier collections ''Surkh Savera'' ("The Red Dawn", 1944) and ''Gul-e-Tar'' ("The Dewdrenched Rose", 1961) {{citation needed|date=January 2021}}<br />
