Urdu is a beautiful language and it has earned fame for its beautiful poetry. Celebrating The Best of Urdu Poetry is a tribute to the language and a treat for the lovers of Urdu shaayri. for the past two centuries, there have been many known and unknown legendary Urdu poets, who have contributed innumerable poetic works. This book is an attempt by the author, to present a collection of these poems in one place for Urdu poetry fans.
Urdu is a rich language which evolved as a mixture of many languages such as Persian, Turkish, Arabic, Hindi, Sanskrit, Dakni and Braj. Though it was passionately patronized by the Muslim rulers and nawabs, unfortunately this language has lost its significance and it is almost into the stages of extinction. This book is a humble attempt to rekindle the heritage of this language and bring out the best of its poetry in order to make the glory of this language familiar to the world.
Celebrating The Best of Urdu Poetry has been authored by Khushwant Singh and translated by Kamna Prasad, who themselves are great admirers of Urdu and poetry. This book was published in 2011 by Penguin India. It is available in paperback.
One of India’s most acknowledged column-writer and novelist, Khushwant Singh was the founder-editor of Yojana and had served as the editor of Hindustan Times, the National Herald and the Illustrated Weekly of India. He was also awarded the Padma Bhushan in 1974, but returned it as a protest against the atrocities of the Indian Army on the Golden Temple in 1984.
