Shabeeh Haider’s poetry comes straight from the heart. The verses are palpable and the poet’s greatest strength lies in the simplicity and choice of words. All his poems directly invite the reader to plunge into the ocean of sentiment and love that the author intricately conjures through his poems.

‘You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens’ – said Rumi, the great poet and saint. We see the author displaying precisely this very resilient nature of the heart through his love poems. The poetry begins with a drizzle of love’s joy and as one flips the pages of this book, the drizzle slowly becomes a downpour.
