Description: These are essentially romantic poems, with a difference. It is love, and love alone that is depicted here. Yet, not wanton cravings of the physical kind. It is really a spiritual journey, filled with passionate misgivings, and longings. The aim is to arrive, in the realm of mental equanimity, and spiritual salvation. The poetess’ paramour is none other than her Lord God. It is poetry of the mystical kind; one that transcends the levels of ordinary human emotions. The reader familiar with Surayya’s poetry can feel that this restless creative poetess has at long last found true peace.
