Disclaimer
This book is transliteration of Umera Ahmed’s masterpiece Peer-e-Kaamil WITHOUT HER PERMISSION.
This is only for those readers who understand Urdu but can’t read it. On Goodreads, some people asked meabout Roman transliteration of Peer-e-Kamil. I couldn’t find it, so I made a mental note to try and make it available to others for free when I get time. Then I forgot about it because I never get time.
And this morning, I got this book. Some kind soul had enough time to transliterate, print, and spiral bind and bring it home.
Anyone interested in reading the roman version can borrow from me.
And those online can read it here.
P.S. This is NOT English translation. If you want that, it’s available on Amazon.
“Movie dekhne ka program hai is weekend par, chaloge?” Danish us din uske paas aaya hua tha.
“Haan chalunga.” Salar tayyar ho gaya.
“Phir tum tayyar rehna, main tumhein pick kar lunga.” Danish ne program tay kiya.
Danish program ke mutabiq use lene ke liye aa gaya tha. Wo kai hafton ke baad kisi cinema mein movie dekhne ke liye aaya tha aur uska khayaal tha ke kam az kam us raat wo ek achi tafreeh mein kuch waqt guzaar sakega magar movie shuru hon eke 10 minute baad use wahan baithe baithe achanak shadeed qism ki ghabraahat hone lagi. Saamne screen par nazar aane wale kirdaar use kath putliyaan nazar aane lage jin ki harkaat aur aawazon ko wo samajhne se qaasir tha. Wo kuch bhi kahe baghair bahot aahistagi ke sath uth kar bahar aa gaya. Wo parking mein bahot der tak Danish ki gaadi ke bonut par baitha raha, phi ek taxi le kar apne apartment par wapas aa gaya.
