Bashing of religion, religious thought or religious people is a new religion itself now. However, living in 2018, we have seen such rubbish being uttered by every tom, dick and harry on social media, be it bloggers like Bhensa or some wanna be pages, whose rozi rizq come from religion bashing, these thoughts now feel like some expired material. Seriously? It might have been cool to say things like that in 1992, when this book was published or in 1970s and 1980s, when these lines were perceived, as in those times such thoughts may have been symbol of so called rebellion or self-imposed bravery by our authors.

None of his work is average, it is thoughtful and intelligent but the poetic finesse is not at par with Urdu's many greats. Jaun's work is as troubled as his thoughts, his expression loses the poetic rhythm at times owing to the complexity of his thoughts. Shayad is, nevertheless, albeit some short comings a must read for those who love Reekhta for Jaun is u If only Jaun's poetic prowess was as strong as his intellectual depth.
