Description:
Over the years a number of renowned Urdu poets have penned down verses that have appealed to our senses both emotionally and spiritually. Shehzad Mahmood in his compilation, carrying the works of some 199 poets of the past and present, seems to have captured the best of them. With poets lending their own style to poetry, their contribution to Urdu is truly unique.
Ghalib was a master at blending more than one theme within the ghazal. Hafiz Jalandhri’s poems were full of inspiration. Josh and Iqbal, both exceptions to the norm have written ghazals in the style of a nazm based on a single theme. Ahmed Faraz is a current favorite who has catered to today’s generation using a simple choice of words but to great effect.
By bringing the works of the best Urdu poets together in one book, Shehzad Mahmood has created a work that allows evaluation, comparison and criticism. Representing the poets of different generations, the gradual enrichment and development of Urdu poetry should not escape an observer’s eye. All in all by coming out with this book, Shehzad has done a great service to enthusiasts and made a priceless contribution to Urdu Literature.
Ghalib, Amjad Islam Amjad, Akhter Sherani, Fauq, Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Iqbal, Akbar Allahabadi, Raees Amrohi and Parvin Shakir are just some of the poets who feature in this book.
