Masterpieces of Urdu Ghazals

The Urdu Ghazal is widely regarded as the most popular and prized poetic form in the Urdu language, and this collection offers an introduction to its particular form and flavour. It brings together 108 Ghazals translated from the works of nine major poets: Wali, Dard, Mir, Ghalib, Momin, Iqbal, Hasrat, Firaq and Faiz. The translations stay faithful to the sense and spirit of the originals, rendered in clear, poetical language. For readers who don't read Urdu, the book includes the original Urdu text alongside Romanised versions of each Ghazal.
