Is der anyone who is a urdu reader???


Ibn-e-safi
His main works were the 125-book series Jasoosi Dunya (The Spy World) and the 120-book Imran Series, with a small canon of satirical works and poetry. His novels were characterized by a blend of mystery, adventure, suspense, violence,romance and comedy, achieving massive popularity across a broad readership in South Asia.


In translation

The first English translations of Ibne Safi's mystery novels began appearing in 2010, with The House of Fear from the Imraan Series, translated by Bilal Tanweer and published by Random House India.[5] In 2011, Blaft Publications in association with Tranquebar released four more novels, this time from the Jasusi Duniya series, translated by the highly acclaimed Urdu critic Shamsur Rahman Faruqi.

well i can't read urdu but i did try a book "khuda aur mohabbat" by hashim nadeem in its english version and frankly i think if u don't read it in the language written then u lost the total essence .. so i have prohibited myself in reading translated books after tht ...
