Urdu translation in verse of the selected Persian odes of Hafiz of Shiraz. Hafiz was born as Shamsuddin Mohamed in 1320 in Shiraz, Persia and died 61years later. Without doubt, he remains one of the most revered poets of all time. He does not distinguish appearance from reality and neither can we when we read him. In human beauty he sees the glory and majesty of God. For him, the bar is a place of worship, the bar keeper a teacher and the wine the spirit of Divine knowledge. And the barmaid, yes the barmaid, is a houri straight from paradise, so beautiful, so obliging. In short, he is a mystic par excellence and a man of God. When he looks for God, he finds Him everywhere, and most surprisingly in his own heart.

With an arcing and emphatic beauty, Ghalib, the Indian Beloved by Khalid Hameed Shaida is a starry-eyed collection of one hundred and twenty-four translated odes by Ghalib. Capturing the essence and pure song of one of the most loved romantic poets of India, Shaida's translation and interpretations also illustrate the deeply philosophical undertones of Ghalib's voice. Born into the gentry in the dying days of the Mughal Empire, Ghalib led a charmed life as a darling of the last Mughal king, himself a renowned poet. Primarily, Ghalib's body of work celebrates feminine beauty, often bemoaning the cruelness of unrequited affection. For his part, Shaida, who is best known for his previous collections entitled Khusro, the Indian Orpheus; Hafiz, Drunk with God; and Hafiz, the Voice of God, carries on the Eastern tradition that makes the most of the playful, yet thoughtful, exuberance of love, passion, and endearing wiles of the heart.
