SADEQUAIN-ISM 201: Rubaiyyat-e-Sadequain Khattat

This book SADEQUAIN-ISM 201 consists of English translation of Sadequain’s writings and poetry in Urdu language. It represents Sadequain’s philosophy on the meaning of life, mankind, man’s purpose on earth, value of work, and value of man’s character. Sadequain’s philosophy can best be summed up by his own quotation, “People ask why I don’t paint flowers, butterflies and landscapes. I tell them that I seek the truth and I am after reality. I am not inspired by someone posing against the backdrop of roses-in-a-vase, or pink curtains. What inspires me is a person who has gone hungry for hours and is struggling for survival. The expression that lights his face at the end of the day when he has finally found some scraps, that is what touches me. I am a painter of the expression of reality.”
