Kaarobaar-e-Shaam, Hafeez Johar, Complete works

Kaarobaar-e-Shaam

Nearly two decades after his untimely passing, Kaarobaar-e-Shaam brings together the powerful poetry of Johar—an evocative and deeply personal voice in Urdu literature. This landmark collection gathers his verses from private notebooks, rare family photographs, and biographical reflections to tell the story of a writer profoundly rooted in the city he called home. This complete collection also includes his first book- Barf Ka Roag.

Elegantly presented in a 346-page, high-quality hardback (royal size 234mm x 156mm), the book includes 16 pages of archival photographs that offer glimpses into Johar’s world.

The collection features an insightful English introduction by Imran Hafeez, with contributions from Basir Kazmi and Dr. Mukhtar Uddin Ahmed, who provide valuable context to Johar’s literary legacy. Dr. Sajid Ali’s expertise in advising and organizing the collection has also played a crucial role in bringing this work to life.

A moving tribute and a timeless literary treasure, *Kaarobaar-e-Shaam* is a must-have for lovers of Urdu poetry and those interested in the enduring connections between place, memory, and verse.
