Meree Dunya (My World): Punjabi Ghazal Geet and Nazm : A Posthumous collection of poetry

Any Punjabi speaker will confirm this: after a day of navigating through polite English; or perhaps formal Urdu or Hindi there is nothing quite like the warm embrace of your mother tongue. This collection of Punjabi ghazal geet and nazm written in Urdu ranges from simple village life to the complex issues of industrial cities and world politics; from the intimacy of love and deep friendships to the savage alienation of divided communities brought about by hatred and war. The common themes are mans human-ness and of course Punjabi. The book is a celebration of Punjabi but also of the Urdu script in which it is written. For the inquisitive who lack written knowledge of these languages each poem has been translated into English with the transliteration below it to help you brush up on your linguistic skills. As Ziai sahib says Whenever a few Punjabis get together The conversation flows in Punjabi
