This is the most representative selection of the poems of Josh Malihabadi known as the 'Poet of Revolution' for his struggle against colonial rule in India. From the early 1940s Josh came to dominate the Urdu literary scene, and in all the types of poetry he composed, whether reflective, revolutionary or romantic, Josh was hailed as a consummate stylist who could commandeer words on demand, who proved to be a great poet not only of Urdu literature but of the Urdulanguage. In a life span, extending from the reign of Lord Elgin to the regime of General M. Zia ul Haq, Josh apart from composing nature poetry, made poetical comments on almost every significant event from 1914 to 1974. The militant regime of Zia ul Haq had banned the works of Josh Malihabadi from the official media, due to his liberal views. He has left behind 20 volumes of poetry one of them still awaiting publication. INDICE: Introduction of the poet.; Poems; Lyrics; Ghazals
