With Pronunciation and Glossary
Introduction to Jurat: 100 Selected Ghazals. This book is in Urdu
Qalandar Bakhsh Jurat (1748 –1809) was one of the most distinctive voices of the Lucknow school of Urdu poetry — a master of the romantic ghazal whose verse blends elegance, musicality, and bold emotional expression. His ghazals speak with intimacy and vividness of love, longing, and the subtle power of beauty. Jurat’s poetic world is adorned with graceful metaphors, flowing rhythm, and a voice that is both passionate and polished.
This carefully curated selection presents 100 of Jurat’s finest ghazals, chosen for their lyrical richness, emotional resonance, and stylistic charm. His poetry captures the spirit of an age where poetry was not just literature, but lived experience.
Special features of this edition include:
– Complete Urdu text with full diacritical markings (zer, zabar, pesh, tashdeed) for proper pronunciation, poetic rhythm, and ease of access — especially valuable for students, reciters, and those studying classical Urdu.
– A comprehensive Urdu glossary that explains difficult or idiomatic words, metaphors, and classical references — allowing deeper appreciation of both meaning and music.
Jurat: 100 Selected Ghazals offers readers a return to a world of refined expression, where love is not whispered but sung — and where every couplet is a moment of aesthetic and emotional revelation.
