A COLLECTION, BOTH SPARE AND LUMINOUS, FOR THOSE WELL-VERSED AS WELL AS NEW TO THIS WORLD

In this sincere collection of shers and ghazals, Satya Prabhakar brings to readers the beauty and fiery lyricism of a centuries-old poetic tradition. Divided into five sections, Alfaaz ki Mehfil underscores love, loss, resistance and remembrance through the lens of literary stalwarts who have long defined the form. From the elegiac grace of Mir Taqi Mir and the wry melancholy of Ghalib to the sharper cadences of modern inheritors, such as, Rahat Indori and Aleena Itrat, this accessible anthology traces the many moods and movements of the Urdu poetic imagination.
