In his views, Mustafa Qureshi said that writing a book at such a young age and even in such a way that the reader falls under its spell is very amazing. I congratulate the author for writing the best book.

Sahir Lodhi said that when I read one page, I was compelled to read the whole book. Shehzad Qureshi said that not everyone gets the honour of poetry, it is not so easy to memorise and recite poetry, I congratulate her on this book. He said, “We have to come forward for Urdu literature. We cannot pay the debt of what we write in our language."
