I enjoy what you take the time to translate and write here my friend, even if I am not a student of poetry I love your quotations and the glimpse into another culture much more gentle than what I have grown up in............

Re:
Thanks, Troosha. I know you're freaking out as you should be but all good things must that's why we cherish them. Come back to your hearth and regale us with your poems. I adore your poetic skills. You are my guru, honestly- hardilaziz

Greetings from Maui (boo, hoo – only one more day).    Albeit it this sounded sad, it’s a great poem – full ofpassion and emotion.

Re:
Sinome- Thank you so much for your kind comments. When I started this blog last year, I was not sure how it will be received. Encouraging feedback from my friends who don't have a clue about the priceless Urdu poetry has convinced me that I am doing the right thing. I always been fascinated by the depth of Urdu poetry. This is my humble effort to take it to the non-Urdu speaking community who love poetry. Translating these Urdu verses has been my pleasure. Sometimes it is tough but it is my effort to make it as simple as possible without losing the flavour of the original. I am learning in the process. I'll be happy to serve as long as I possibly can. Thanks again for your support. You're such an understanding poet. Special thanks is also due to Afzal50 who motivates me a lot with valuable tips from time to time!- hardilaziz
