With Pronunciation and Glossary
Introduction to Yagana: 100 Selected Ghazals. This book is in Urdu
Yagana Changezi was one of the boldest and most original voices in Urdu poetry—a poet who freed the ghazal from romantic clichés and rhetorical excess, and reshaped it as a medium for rational thought, intellectual integrity, and personal identity.
Yagana’s ghazals speak with clarity, defiance, and uncompromising honesty. He rejected blind imitation, challenged literary conventions, and wrote in a language that was modern, direct, and philosophically sharp. His poetry is marked by self-awareness, critical wit, and emotional realism, offering a voice that still resonates with readers seeking depth, courage, and truth in verse.
This volume, Yagana: A 100 Selected Ghazals, presents a carefully chosen selection of his work. It includes fully vocalized Urdu text to ensure correct pronunciation and reading fluency, as well as a comprehensive Urdu glossary to help readers access the poet’s precise and thought-provoking language.
