Summary: The book contains a rich fare of the best of Urdu poetry in its three major forms: Ghazal, Nazm, and rubai. The poems are first given in calligraphic Urdu, which, on the opposite page is translated into English, and transliterated, Roman Script. This should be of special help to the non-Urdu knowing readers. It should also give them a feel and flavour of the Urdu text, and whet their appetite for learning the language. The book contains 115 Ghazals, 30 Nazms and 40 Rubais. It also contains a sprinkling of humorous Urdu poetry. In these days of limited leisure ad fast-moving life, such a compendious volume should come as a whiff of cool breeze in a crowded room. It is hoped that the book will receive a warm welcome from the lovers of poetry.
