About this Book: |
|
Mohammad Yamin has profoundly captured the soul of the writings of Josh Malihabadi and presents in this book his work contained in a small out of print booklet called Qatra-o-Q ulzum ( A Drop and the Ocean). In Qatra-o-Qulzum Josh has skillfully created turbulent seas out of the still and tiny lakes of Rubai’yat. Josh in his spirited and artistic expression, fearlessness, vision, natural romanticism, poetic expertise and sarcasm is nearest to Omar Khyyam. He is eyes and vision of skies, which transcend into freedom of thoughts from the triviality of antiquated superstition.
