He is also often compared to Faiz Ahmed Faiz for his simple style of writing because of which he became popular among common readers and connoiseurs of literature.This book offers a selection of the best Ghazals of Ahmed Faraz, translated into English by Kuldeep Salil. And to help you enjoy the richness and flavor of Urdu language, the original Urdu ghazals are transliterated and presented both in Roman and Devnagri scripts.
