GHUNCHA PHIR LAGA KHILNAY Anwar Masood
Description: It is a credit to Anwar Masood's talent as a poet that none other than Amjad Islam Amjad has compared him with Nazir Akbar Allahabadi.
Anwar Masood is a much sought after poet in ghazal and poetry functions both within and outside of Pakistan. His main weapon lies in the structure of his quatrains (poem or part of a poem comprised of four lines with an established rhyme and rhythm scheme). The first three verses seem pretty ordinary- the fourth verse, however, strikes you down.
It is an established fact that in poetry functions attended by Anwar Masood, respected poets from around the country try and read their poetry before Anwar Masood gets a chance to address the audience, for fear of failing to match the high standard set by Anwar Masood.
This book is a collection of Anwar Masood's humorous quatrains, nazms & ghazals.

MERAY BHI KUCHH KHAAB HAIN Amjad Islam Amjad
Description: Amjad Islam Amjad, these days is a household name. Over the years, both as a drama writer and as a poet, he has enriched the lives of many.
The purpose of all truly good poetry is to reduce stress in readers or listeners, calming them both physically and emotionally. This is exactly what Amjad has succeeded in doing. Extracting the various colors from the portrait of life and presenting them in verses that we can recognize and relate to easily, displays a tenderness and sensitivity on the part of the poet. This sensitivity at times often veers into dramatic exclamations, conveying the rich, complex character of the poet. Added to this his remarkable gift for evocative language completes the poet and results in a book by the Amjad, which definitely deserves a large readership.

SEHRA KHAREED LAI HAIN Farhat abbas shah
Description: This compilation of Farhat Abbas Shah's poems, ghazals & nazms is actually his 4th collection of poems & also the best by far. What's more, this collection boasts of many ghazals that are a match for "Sham Ke Baad" & "Ankhon Kay Paar Chand", his two most popular ghazals to date.
Besides appreciating the poet's fluency, the reader will be also be inspired by Farhat's message- Farhat stands on high moral ground as he attacks despots & writes against cruelty, subjugation & all kinds of attacks on humanity. His message, formulated by his supreme choice of words, fluency of poetry, and high quality lyrics, strikes the heart.
A whole chapter is dedicated to kafis (kafiyan), one of the hardest forms of poetry, yet Farhat looks perfectly adept in "Dil Pagal Dil Sehra", "Ziddi Bacchha" & "Tera Hijr Bara Badzat Sajan".
