Intikhab-e-Kalam: Khawaja Mir Dard

Description

Dard has always found a high place in the hierarchy of classical poets because of the felicity of his expression and the even quality of his verse. His small diwan has attracted the most casual readers of Urdu poetry as well as the most fastidious literary critics. The ghazal idiom enables his poetry to be read at both a worldly and spiritual level, which is why the readership is so extensive.
