Celebrating the Best of Urdu Poetry by Kamna Prasad, Khushwant Singh

3.0

It was extremely refreshing to read this beautiful assortment of Urdu Poetry. However, the compiler scarcely scratches below the surface to provide some of the lesser-known works. At the same time, the accompanying translation focusses only on the literal level and ignores the intricate allegory nestled in the verse. Nonetheless, it's good edition for beginners to get introduced to Urdu poetry. I deeply appreciate the publisher's attempt to aid in the revival of the dying tradition of Urdy poetry by creating a volume that can be easily consumed by the masses.
