Rubai (Tehqeeq-O-Tanqeed) [Hardback-2013] Muhammad Irshad

Fitzgerald s translation of Omar Khayyam helped to make Rubaiyat a familiar word in almost all the leading languages of the world. In this book Muhammad Irshad, a polymath, undertakes a magisterial survey of Rubai as a genre, tracing its origins and pointing out its felicities with remarkable acumen. A very unusual work in Urdu, highly informative and thought provoking.
