Description

An extraordinary and absolutely new collection of Rubais, Qatas and Couplets from the equally extraordinary poet, Kuldip Salil – each one in Urdu, Hindi, English and roman script.

This treasure of Urdu poetry was originally compiled and translated by the legendary Prakash Pandit, whose role in making Urdu poetry accessible is indeed unique. The author has drawn upon this treasury to create exquisite gems that have retained their originality in English.

A soul-stirring collection from a great master, this volume completes the great Urdu trilogy on ghazals, nazms and rubais.


COMMENT:

“I can say without hesitation, (that his) renderings of Ghalib read better than any I have read by scholars of Urdu, be they Indian, Pakistani or Firangi.”
= Khuswant Singh on Kuldip Salil
