What it's about

"Navaa-e-Sarosh" (Voices from Beyond) presents the splendid ghazals, alongside their elegant English translations, by 10 Maestro Urdu Poets of Delhi whose words set hearts ablaze for the times to come. Love, with all its wine-infused passions and experiences of yearning, has preoccupied classic poets of the city. The careful curation and trans-creations render these ghazals readable to novices of classic Urdu poetry. The book is a great choice for those who wish to explore the themes of love as conceptualized by classic poets. Entrepreneur, investor and mentor, Sanjiv Saraf juggles many roles, but his passion for Urdu poetry is what is closest to his heart. He set up Rekhta Foundation—which hosts the world’s largest and most popular resource for the Hindustani language and literature—apart from doing extensive work for preservation of texts and propagation of the language among youth through festivals and events. An alumnus of the Scindia School (1975) and a graduate from IIT Kharagpur (1980), Sanjiv was involved in business and industry for over thirty years during which he founded Polyplex Corpn. Ltd., an Indian multinational, Manupatra, India’s leading legal database, and other ventures in the green energy space. Thereafter, he turned his energies towards the Hindustani language and is now fully involved in what he considers ‘the most satisfying work of my life, so far’. Sanjiv is a recipient of several awards and honours, including the distinguished Doctor of Letters (D. Litt.) degree by Maulana Azad National Urdu University Hyderabad in 2016, the National Sir Syed Excellence Award 2018 by Aligarh Muslim University, the Madhav Award as an Old Boy of Eminence for the year 2020 by the Scindia School and the distinguished alumnus award from IIT Kharagpur in 2022.
