Just a message for simple readers like me that no need to be confused with Goodreads description. Sheesh Naag is metaphor for writer of book.
It's a mystical and spiritual life journey of writer and he recalls and explains some important people he encountered in life.
If you don't believe in his spirtual teachings still you can read it as A fictionalized Autobigraphic novel. Superb Book. 10 stars in my humble opinion.

Read this one almost 6/7 years ago. I was a teen, so I really tried to understand the different style this book presents by reflecting the extensive experience and the ever flowing observation in a spiritual world. I started reading this book for entertainment, because everyone was reading it in those days, so I issued this from library. It has the quality of transporting the reader with itself. It catches hold of him completely and does not allow his attention go astray. A good edition in Urdu Literature.

"Piya Rang Kala" is more a book of memoirs than a novel. It relates the experiences of an author who takes his reader by hand and begins the journey of his lifetime. The reader's reaction turns from bemusement to impatience to fear to fascination as the story progresses. Baba Mohammad Yahya Khan, in his book, explores the occult, infinity, Mysticism and some other manifestations of the intense desire of man to know what exists or lies beyond the finite mental capability of human beings. The supernatural touches in the book are managed in such a way that they seem in perfect harmony with the psychological and emotional moulds of both the characters and the reader.

This is art even if you don't like the main character. This is presented as a memoir or autobiography, the style is very modern and the grasp of the author on the continuously shifting narratives within narratives is supreme. The language is refined and urdu, hindi and punjabi are all present which makes it difficult to follow sometimes especially during the hindi parts. The descriptions are quite magical and transportative. Sometimes the verbosity is a bit irksome though...
The events may be actual or fictionalized or more plausibly a combination of both. If even half or a quarter of this guy's experiences are actual, it says alot for the possibilities of human experience.

Exceptional book. It will imprint itself on your mind once you've read it, granted that it is an incredibly difficult read due to the complex and nuanced vocabulary used by the impossibly talented author. The book mostly deals with spiritual themes, but it's not limited to that. This is a very diverse book and you've to read it to fully experience it.

If you want to read any book you should try it!

[Saher · Rating 1 out of 5]

A few comments of body shaming made me leave this book. I don't think the people should read such books in which the narrator normalizes body shaming and also claims to be spiritually enlighted. The narcissistic writing style also made me quit reading, I was expecting it to be more humble and wholesome.
