Many very very very literate and educated people praise this book. If Nazm Tabatabai can say for Ghalib that his shers are "maa'ni fi batn isshaair" then I will be audacious and impudent and say Naiyer sahab ends his afsanays way too quick and I am left wanting for me, often mad. I'm either too young, or this is ragebait. Most likely a mix of both.

ham ne sab sher meñ sañvāre the
ham se jitne suḳhan tumhāre the
rañg-o-ḳhushbū ke husn-o-ḳhūbī ke
tum se the jitne isti.āre the
tere qaul-o-qarār se pahle
apne kuchh aur bhī sahāre the
jab vo la.al-o-gohar hisāb kiye
jo tire ġham ne dil pe vaare the
mere dāman meñ aa gire saare
jitne tasht-e-falak meñ taare the
umr-e-jāved kī duā karte
'faiz' itne vo kab hamāre the
😍😻

So I finally read this I found out he won some Indian lit award and a good friend's favourite author so I decided to read it. I read the tauus-chaman afsana. It was good, the book was interesting+funny. I was hooked at the middle. But the ending sucked Really disappointed w it. needed more dramaticism. I thought authors moved on from writing about 1947 but no it just changed to 1857. Prose included a bit of old terms
