Hibah Shabkhez, Farah Shabkhez
Here’s a modest selection of verses from Iqbal’s Urdu and Persian poetry, compiled and translated into French. It is meant to be read, enjoyed, criticised – and corrected. If, as a speaker of French, Urdu or Persian, you find this booklet guilty of any errors or omissions, please write to the authors at hibahshabkhezxicc@gmail.com. However, we request you to email us concrete suggestions rather than vague expressions of dissatisfaction, so that we may edit our book accordingly. And if, Gentle Reader, you find this little effort of ours sufficiently inspiring – or infuriating – you may even wish to undertake a similar venture yourself … If it ever does come to that, please don’t forget to drop us a line …
