  • Description

    Celebrating The Best Of Urdu Poetry by Khushwant Singh is a collection Urdu poetry. The book contains poems written by both famous and relatively unknown poets from over the past 200 years. In one of the poems in this book, Rashid asks Allah for a small gift. If he writes his will in Urdu, he wants his son to be able to read it. The readers who love Urdu verses and those who are seeking an introduction to Urdu poetry may find this collection interesting.

    About Khushwant Singh

    Khushwant Singh was an Anglo-Indian writer, advocate, politician and journalist. A Padma Vibhushan awardee, Mr. Singh is best remembered for his humour, love of poetry and his vigourous treatment of secularism in his writings, most evident in: The Company of Women, Truth, Love and a Little Malice, With Malice towards One and All, The Mark of Vishnu and Other Stories and Delhi: A Novel.
    A graduate of Government College, Lahore, St. Stephen's College in Delhi and King's College London, he read for the Bar at the Inner Temple and served as a practising lawyer for nearly fifteen years before entering journalism. He has worked with The Illustrated Weekly, The National Herald and Hindustan Times. A prolific writer, Mr. Singh wrote till the grand old age of 99, releasing his last work The Good, The Bad and The Ridiculous a few months before his passing in March 2014.

    Expected a better product

    Not really worth it. It contains only handful of Poetry, and also Most of the pages are left half blank, & most of the famous poetries of shayars are left behind. Also, the english translation is not done so well.

    Low in Content, Often Mistranslated

    This book just embarrassed me. It boasts of 200 years of Shayari collection. But merely it has 70-80 Shaers.
    Also translated vaguely (You can't quote from it)
    just e.g. On page 136 & 137 have only one couplet,which in
    Original says: Aisa Khabt-e-Mazhab kya?
    Translated as: What kind of religion is this?
    It should have been : What kind of fanaticism about religion is this?

    Flipkart delivered the book in time, as usual.
