[Karandeep · Rating 4 out of 5]

Because I like our Indian poets and because someone is preserving these poems and because some poems were good and expansive list of poets spanning from 1700s to 2000s.

A decent collection.

A Treasury of Urdu Poetry" by Kuldeep Salil is a beautifully curated collection that captures the depth, elegance, and emotional richness of Urdu literature. Spanning classical masters and modern icons, it offers timeless couplets alongside contemporary reflections, creating a bridge across eras.

Having listened to the audio version, I can say one read is far from enough. This is a book to be revisited—each reading or listening revealing new layers. It welcomes novices with its charm while offering seasoned lovers of poetry moments of profound resonance.
