Intekhab by Mir Anees

Muharram and Mir Anis have become synonymous in our part of the world. In fact, Mir Anis is a great teacher for the young generation if it wants to feed itself on the gems of Urdu poetry. Undoubtedly, Urdu derives much of its strength from the Marsias of Mir Anis.

What made Mir Anis so important as to be equated with the best names of world literature. May be because of his art of breathing life into words and making them signify the signified splendidly. It has become almost impossible to think of Marsia without Mir Anis. He has taken Marsia to the zenith. All that he has achieved for Urdu poetry is difficult to imitate, let alone excel him.
