Second Edition of 'The Fascinating Tales of Urdu & its Courtyard — Dilli' Launched

The second edition of The Fascinating Tales of Urdu & its Courtyard — Dilli is recently released and is available (whatsApp: 9870477658).

The book offers a glimpse into Delhi’s changing history, culture, language and society. The first edition of the book (published in 2023) has been warmly received by readers. They have praised the book for its contents as well as the way it intertwines, captivating anecdotes from the city’s past with the rich and poetic journey of Urdu — a language that was born, nurtured, and blossomed in the very heart of Delhi.

The book has stories — from kings, nawabs and poets to saints, faqirs and courtesans. Delhi has a splendid legacy of Urdu poets — from Hatim, Dard, Sauda, Mir and Mushafi to Zauq, Ghalib, Zafar, Momin, Shefta and Daagh — who saw both the splendour and ravages of the time. The book also gives readers an exposure to Urdu prose and letters which are an important part of Delhi’s history. For the benefit of those who are not well-versed in Urdu, the author has written the extracts in Roman script (English) and has explained the meanings of difficult Urdu words too.
