Maqaame Ishq

Dive into “Maqaame Ishq”, a profound collection of Urdu poetry by the Poet Ustaad Abdul Hafiz ‘Saahil Qadri’. Though raised in the UK from a tender age, Saahil Qadri has not only preserved but masterfully enriched the Urdu language, offering a testament to its enduring beauty and his own unique connection to its poetic soul.

Hailing from a distinguished lineage where Urdu was the mother tongue and poetry a cherished familial legacy—his father also being a renowned published poet—Ustaad Saahil Qadri’s work stands as a testament to this deep-rooted heritage.

Unlike many contemporary Urdu poets, “Maqaame Ishq” consciously moves beyond themes of ‘ishqe majazi’ (earthly love and the descriptions of physical beauty). Instead, it delves deeply and reverently into the realms of ‘ishqe haqeeqi’ (divine love) and profound wisdom, inviting readers on a journey of spiritual introspection and enlightenment.

This distinctive focus has not gone unnoticed, garnering high praise from Urdu literary giants such as Rafat Saeed Quraishi and Ahamd Muhyuddin Hakam Aurangabadi, among others, who have lauded the unique spiritual depth and sublime beauty of his rich poetry.

Experience poetry that transcends the mundane, offering solace and insight through its devotion to the sacred.
