Description of the Book:
 
As a kid who grew up watching Sunday night mushayrahs with my grandpa, I always had a special place in my heart for the Urdu language. I also realised many people of my generation are in awe of the language and yet, intimidated by it's "difficult" and "mysterious" words. This little piece of work is my humble effort to help shun some of the stereotypes about Urdu. I've used the Roman script to make the poems more accessible. I've also provided meanings and explanations for the parts that may be confusing for new readers. I've also thrown in a few poems in English, for a change of pace. It is my sincere hope this book serves the readers as a gateway into the beautiful world of Urdu literature, which is a treasure waiting to be found, hence the title Dafiina- which means "buried treasure" :)

There you go! You've already learned your first word!
