Silences

Translations cant give u the perfect sentiment which a writer wants to portrait.. Especially when ur reading something written by gulzar.. If u read his works in hindi or urdu, u wd b able to imagine every deep meaning of his every line.. This book has somehow managed to give u that "typically gulzar" feel.. U need to read the poems with that extra passion for poetry, or else it wd b just like any other ordinary poem, bt i wont say its a waste of time.. Bt if u relli wanna read the real "him" go for a hindi version..Cheers..

I have always been a fan of Gulzar . I become short of words, when it comes to praise his work. The book is brilliant and a must have.

Not good.

Translations not as good as other Gulzar books, specially done by Pawan Varma, even the original Urdru renderings not printed.

beautiful its in English don't get confused its the translated version

favourite one. i love all the poetry. Gulzar is my fav.

passionate one

This is Gulzar Saab. How can you omit Hindi poetry and write English translation only? Publisher: Please add the original poems and publish the same. In the meantime I will dump this in the dustbin

Good book but, it would have been better if it included the original poems too!
