The exquisite journey of love passes through numerous twists and turns, bringing different experiences to each individual.
In Urdu poetry, poets have penned down these diverse experiences in rhyme with a sheer eloquence that aptly expresses the exceptional bond between the lover and the beloved. Meer, Ghalib, Momin, Dagh, Faiz and hundreds of Urdu poets have voices to the emotions of lovers going through stages such as longing, interplay, loving, possessiveness, rivalry, separation, breaking-up and frenzy.
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’ narrates the enchanting tale of this journey that includes the subtle nuances and the beauty of Urdu poetry with all its grace.
Also, this book is available in Hindi and Urdu Languages with the title "Hazaar Daastaan-e-Ishq"
