Introduction to Firaq Gorakhpuri : 100 Selected Ghazals. This book is in Urdu
Firaq Gorakhpuri was among those rare poets who brought modern feeling into classical form, enriching the Urdu ghazal with new emotional and intellectual depth. His poetry is not limited to tales of beauty and longing—it is a meditation on desire, selfhood, nature, and the human condition.
Firaq’s ghazals are marked by a distinctive combination of romantic sensitivity, sensory imagery, lyrical flow, and philosophical thought. For him, beauty is not merely aesthetic—it is the essence of life, the expression of longing, and the pathway to emotional truth. His language is fluid, musical, and precise, inviting readers into a deeply immersive poetic experience.
This volume, Firaq Gorakhpuri:100 Selected Ghazals, offers a careful selection from his finest works. The Urdu text is presented with full diacritical markings for correct pronunciation and rhythm, along with a comprehensive Urdu glossary to support readers in understanding classical and nuanced expressions.
We hope this edition introduces readers to Firaq’s unique poetic voice—a voice that speaks gently but profoundly, weaving love, nature, and thought into unforgettable verse.
