Intikhab-e-Kalam: Jamil Mazhari

Description

This book contains selected poems and lyrics of Jamil Mazhari, one of the most revolutionary and versatile poets.

In all facets of his poetry, he emerges as a thinker, and it is his altruistic attitude to existence which has given an internal cohesion to his varied expression.
