WINNER OF THE UBL/JANG LITERARY EXCELLENCE AWARD 2012 The introductions to the poets, the translations, and the range of poetic styles on display represent indeed a staggering achievement to which the austere attribution "Translated and Edited by Yasmeen Hameed" does but scant justice. For it is only by going through the book itself that one recognizes the scholarly perception, exemplary translation skills, and aesthetic taste that has fused to produce this exceptional work. Waqas Khwaja Urdu Nazm is new and a product of the time in which we live. Not only its literal but even its cultural colour is transmittable in deft and capable hands like Yasmeen s who is herself an elegant nazm practitioner and possesses the required feel for the English word, an absolute must for anyone handling poetry. Her English rendition is like an easy glide over the wing of a gentle breeze. Mushir Anwar
