In 1986, he translated and authored, ‘The Penguin Book of Modern Urdu Poetry’ selecting 20th-century poets whose contribution to the development of Urdu poetry was to transform it “from a literature of philosophy and psychology to one that has given voice to the suppressed anger of Urdu-speaking people.”
