This eloquence makes every reader share this thought, as was inimitably expressed by Mirza Ghalib: Dekhna taqreer ki lazzat ki jo us ne kahaa Maine ye jaanaa ki goyaa ye bhi mere dil men hai ‘Love Longing Loss in Urdu Poetry’ offers a lyrical English transcreation of these experiences woven in the web of an enchanting tale that includes the subtle nuances and the beauty of Urdu poetry with all its beauty.
