Asghar Tirmizis book in Haryanvi published

Meri Baattan, a book of poetry by Asghar Tirmizi, has been published. The book, being in Haryanvi language, is first of its kind in Pakistan.

Asghar Tirmizi belongs to the poor section of society. The harsh conditions he faced in his life are amply reflected in his poetry.

A reading of the book Meri Baattan, unveils the unfulfilled desires and unending constraints faced by the unfortunate lot of this country. Besides, the reader also enjoys reading poetry in Haryanvi as this language strongly appeals to the sense of humour.

Literary writings, such as Meri Baattan, in Haryanvi language are rare. Haryanvi is one of the oldest languages of India. The majority population of Haryana province speaks this language. Hundreds of thousands of Muslims who used to live in that area migrated to Pakistan in 1947. Many of them now live in Khanewal and Multan districts.

This book is an asset not only for those who speak this language, but also for all those who enjoy reading books.

Literary circles of Kabirwala, Khanewal and Multan have urged the government to award this piece of rare literature by Asghar Tirmizi with Tamgha-i-Imtiaz. This, they believed, would encourage and give sense of contentment to a considerable section of people who speak and understand this language.

Yaro Meno Rona Na - Ataullah

I don't fell like...

Emails I had from well-wishers...

All I want to say is that I am fine and I don't feel writing any post.

Love you people of Kabirwala.
