The book contains 12 poems translated into English, together with the original Urdu text transliterated into the Roman alphabet, and is the work of the world’s greatest living authority on the poet, Professor M. S. Baqa.

The poems will be performed in their original language by the well-known Qawwali troop, the Hussain Brothers Ensemble. (For the uninitiated, we should explain that Qawwali is a highly-rhythmic, traditional form of Sufi Music found throughout India and Pakistan.)

The talented artists come from a distinguished ancestry, representing both the Ramur and Bhindi Bazar gharanas, who have been practising the art of Qawwali for at least five generation.
