Last Years
From 1966 to 1975, Nawab Murtaza served as President of the Raza Rampur Library Trust. He became a vice-chairman on its board of trustees in 1975 and remained in that capacity until his death on 8 February 1982 after a 16-year reign, aged 58. As his son had become a US citien and had therefore forfeited his rights as Heir Apparent, Nawab Murtaza was succeeded as titular Nawab of Rampur by his younger brother, Sayyid Zulfikar Ali Khan Bahadur.

Famous quotes containing the word years:
“Dear and most respected bookcase! I welcome your existence, which has for over one hundred years been devoted to the radiant ideals of goodness and justice.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“The years seemed to stretch before her like the land: spring, summer, autumn, winter, spring; always the same patient fields, the patient little trees, the patient lives; always the same yearning; the same pulling at the chain—until the instinct to live had torn itself and bled and weakened for the last time, until the chain secured a dead woman, who might cautiously be released.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
