Wayward Verses - Unruly Urdu Poetry
About The Book: Wayward Verses is a celebration of the undaunted spirit of poets who dare to defy social convention and the accepted concepts of morality. These independent thinkers express their convictions in incisive verse to bring down shibboleths and derisively mock the purveyors of "purity." There is nothing too sacred for them—God, established religion, strictures against drinking, sexuality, or homoeroticism. They rebel against all forms of restriction, oppression, and dos and don’ts. Biting wit and humour are the weapons they employ to bring home their points. In this book, Sanjiv Saraf has assiduously selected verses to give an overarching view of this terrain, along with rhymed translations for the English readers.
