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.
Wo 16-17 saal ka ek dubla patla magar lamba ladka tha, uske chehre par bulughat ka wo gehra ruwan nazar aaraha tha jise ek baar bhi shave nahi kiya gaya tha aur us ruwen ne us ke chehre ki masumiyat ko barqarar Rakha tha. Wo sports shorts aur ek dhili dhali shirt pehne hue tha. Uske pairon me cotton ki juraben aur joggers the, chewing gum chabate hue us ki aankhon me ek ajeen tarah ki bechaini aur izteraab tha. Who us waqt ek pur hujoon sadak ke bichon bich ek heavy duty motor cycle par baitha hua tezi se taqreeban use udaye le ja raha tha. Wo kisi qism ke helmet ke baghair tha aur bahot rash andaz mein motor cycle chala raha tha. Us ne 2 dafa signal toda………. 3 dafa khatarnaak tariqe se kuch gadiyon ko overtake kiya……… 4 dafa bike chalate chalate uska agla pahiya utha diya aur kitni hi der door tak ek hi pahiye par gadi chalata raha……… 2 dafa dayen bayen dekhe baghair usne barq raftaari se apni marzi ka turn liya…… Ek dafa wo zigzag andaz me bike chalane laga, 6 dafa us ne puri raftaar se bike chalate hue apne dono paon utha diye.
Phir yak dam usi raftaar se bike chalate hue usne one way ki khilaaf warzi karte hue us lane ko toda aur dusri line me zannate ke sath ghus gaya. Samne se aati hui traffic ki brackes yak dam charcharane lagin…. Usne full speed par bike chalate hue yak dam handle se apne hath hata diye. Bike puri raftaar ke sath samne se aane wali gadi ke sath takrayi, wo ek jhatka ke sath hawa me buland hua aur phir kisi cheez par gira…… Use andaza nahin hua. Uska zahen tareek ho chuka tha.
Stay tuned for more book reviews.
Until next time, happy reading!
