I am delighted to present the preface of the book Mere Mohtaram, a compilation of three works—Roshandan, Langarkhana, and Ujale—written by the esteemed Javed Siddiqui.
The narration is voiced by my dear friend, the passionate bibliophile, cinephile, and an art aficionado Sher Tookhi.
While his tone and pronunciation may occasionally feel a bit unconventional, please bear in mind that he is an Afghan-born U.S. citizen with deep respect for the author and the language.
I have curated this recording to make the book accessible to those who are not well-versed in reading Urdu. No copyright infringement is intended. All rights belong to the original owners, and this post is shared for the greater good, with no commercial interest involved.
