Khwaja Tariq Mahmood deserves compliments for completing this job, and here is a selection of Zafar’s poetry in Urdu. Roman and Hindi text, as also poetic translation into English.

Bahadur Shah ‘Zafar’
Abu Zafar Sirajuddin Bahadur Shah, the last emperor of Mughal period, who was tortured by the British regime in India, was born in 1775. He was the son of Akbar-II and grandson of the King Shah Alam, took reigns of the kingdom of India as heir to Akbar—II but was the King himself just for name sake. He spent major part of his life in prisons of the British emperor in India, and had a very tragic and painful life. He died in 1862, and that was also an end of the Mughal period in India.

‘Zafar’ had started his life under the influence of the great scholar, and in tradition of the literary environment during the kingdom of Akbar, Jahangir and Shahjahan, which had eminent great poets like Sauda, Meer and Insha in their courts. He had to face a great defeat to his kingdom from me British emperor and spent difficult times, particularly during the last days of his life. And his poetry can easily depict his agony and mental and physical tortures.

‘Zafar’ wrote hundreds and thousands of verses, which are published in a four- volumes. We have tried to include some representative poems (Ghazals) of this great poet, and that proves him as the third great poet of Urdu, after Ghalib and Momin.

These verses have been translated into English by Khwaja Tariq Mahmood, who has earlier done similar poetic translation into English of the poems of Ghalib, Iqbal, Faiz, Sahir Ludhianvi and Shakeel Budauni. As publishers we feel pride to present this collection to our readers.
