Yes I loved it but in Urdu – Aag Ka Darya. The english translation is nothing compared to the original. It is an immense novel that traces thousands of years of subcontinental history and culture through characters who are always searching for love, truth and beauty – sorry If I sounded a little cliched.

I can’t get the Urdu version here, unless it is available online. Amazon only has the english copy.

If someone has the patience to read 642 pages online then there is the link http://dli.iiit.ac.in

Here type Aag ka daryaa in the search box and then read it.

Follow the message in the signs from nowhere, start working on the book. And thanks for that which was not mentioned.

Just a question RR- is Akhir-e shab ke humsafar a difficult read in terms of the language urdu?
