A very interesting book comprising a selection of poetry of the famous poet of Urdu language Daagh Dehlavi (1831-1905) and the different phases and aspects of his life and works.

Author Dr. Daud Rahbar (1926-2000?) was a scholar of religions and cultures. He was kind of a polymath with vast knowledge and diverse interests. He taught at Universities in Canada, Turkey, UK and USA. After retirement from the University of Boston, he devoted himself to writing. His deep love for Urdu literature and Indian classical music reflects in his writings. His works analyze various literary and cultural subjects from a different perspective thus inventing a lighter form of literary criticism from a cultural angle. This style naturally becomes very interesting for the common readers.
