Khwaab aur Mausam
Aziz Ejaz

A television producer who has served state-run media for 32 years, Aziz Ejaz’s collection of poetry — which won the Aks-i-Khushboo Award — is defined by simple expression of thought and musings on everyday life.

Barf Si Larki
Javed Soz Halai

This is the poet’s first collection and written in Urdu, which is not his first language. The poems are not limited to a certain style, but vary between ghazal and nazm with an occasional haiku for a change of pace.
