Why did they stop manufacturing men like him?
Anyway, let me be honest... There are websites online that give romanized version of the original verses along with better translations. If you are going to pay and purchase this book the only good thing that you will get is the context or the Historical background and explanation of the literary devices employed in Khusro's works. Nothing more. So, if you are interested for a deeper insight, go for it. Else just Google!

There are a few casteist jokes that I as a UC woman don't know the severity of. I can only warn you. Please be careful! 🙏sujata's review

The background and intro was very well done and I loved learning and reading through the chosen Ghazals and of course the very funny and double entendré poems that I first was introduced to Khusrao through.
