This collection — Jo Keh Na Payain — gathers fifty-seven poems by Dr. Kaleem Zada Kaleem, a son of Ayub Medical College and a poet whose verses move quietly between the chambers of the heart and the lecture halls of medicine. Composed over years of practice and reflection, the ghazals, nazms, qatas and stray ash'aar were printed in 2002 in a private edition of five hundred copies.
Every poem below has been transcribed verbatim from that 2002 edition. Read slowly. Read aloud. Use the menu above to leap between forms; use the search box to find a phrase you remember.
