Book Description

About The Book

The present volume is a beautiful collection of sixty-seven poems which originally appeared in Urdu as Parindon Bhara Aasman. Rich and suggestive, the poems depict Komal's keen social awareness, rare sensitivity, warmth of feeling and deep human understanding. Komal uses images and symbols "not to point a moral or adorn a tale but to depict a picture, allude to a mood and refer to a feeling", as Professor Ale Ahmed Suroor aptly puts it. To mundane themes of everyday life Komal gives a charming freshness and transforms them into aesthetic experiences of multilayered metaphysical dimensions.

This collection was awarded the Sahitya Akademi Award for Urdu in 1985.
