The complete poetry anthology 'Bayaz-e-Wahab Khar', based on the works of Kashmiri Sufi saint and poet Wahab Khar, was formally unveiled on Sunday at Wahab Khar Hall in the Shar Shali area of Pampore Tehsil, greaterkashmir.com reports. Noted intellectual Dr Satish Vimal presided over the ceremony, which was attended by poets, writers, scholars, intellectuals, religious scholars, and other prominent personalities, including chief editor Mushtaque Barq, writer Dr Ghulam Nabi Haleem, editor Fayaz Arif, Professor Javaid Ahmad Dar, musician Krishan Ji Langu, and advocate Ashiq Hussain. A special musical programme featured Sufi compositions of Khar's selected verses performed by eminent folk artists. In his presidential address, Dr Satish Vimal described the anthology as a well-researched collection of all authenticated poetic compositions by Wahab Khar, with corrected text resulting from years of work by a team of experts led by Mushtaque Barq. Vimal called Khar's poetry a significant spiritual treatise of Kashmir and expressed hope that translations of selected compositions would be done for a wider readership in the near future.
