Shuja died  all of a sudden in    April 2008 of  a massive Heart attack. He was at  Jammu on that fateful day. He was   planning some Exhibition of his work.  He was painting  non stop for that proposed Exhibition.

No age to die  when he  had  just turned  63 ..

In 2013, Five years after his death, his family published his urdu poetic Collection "Khwaab-Zaar ( Garden of Dreams)..

I come  again and again to the innocence of the child that he has painted: Simply divine ..

Peace be to his soul...
