The
other day I was searching for some spiritual books on Amazon and found this
Qiyasi 'Kash-Ma-Kash', written by M.M Khan. Renowned Indian author and
journalist, Kushwant Singh has recommended this piece of work which became a
major reason for me to select this book instead of any other.
'Qiyasi'
is an Urdu word which means 'Discussion' and Kash-Ma-Kash means, 'Dilemma' and
hence, Qiyasi Kash-Ma-Kash is a collection of 50 poems where the author has
discussed the Dilemma of Life.
The
Author has beautifully penned down these poems which depict different phases of
life, the ups, and downs, the challenges which we encounter, the environment
where we live, our relations with society and so many things which we face in
our day to day life.
Quoting
some of my favorite lines from this book:
"Muqeed
hai Mera dil ba faiz-e-rafeeq-e-Jaan
Beqarari
-e-dil ko bhala Kaise karoon bayaan"
The
best part of the book is that all these poems have been given in three
distinctive languages, i.e, Hindi, Urdu and Roman English which makes it
accessible for everyone to read it.
To
make it easy to understand, the author has also given the meaning of
each word, just below the poem. This helped me in learning some Urdu
words, their meaning, and their depth.
I
just loved this wonderful creation by M.M Khan and would like to give this book, 5 starts.
Of course, I would suggest people out there to give this book a try. You will love it as it might change your perception towards life.
