Firaq was perhaps the tallest Urdu poet of the 20thcentury. Firaq would live on through generations of future readers and admirers who would know him only though his works, in the original Urdu as well as in translation. The present volume contains introduction to the life and works of Firaq Gorakhpuri for the benefit of uninitiated readers
