Mukhtar Masood’s “Aawaz-e-Dost” is a masterpiece of Urdu prose that presents a deep analysis of history, philosophy, civilization, and society. This book holds a unique place in Pakistani literature. It consists of two parts. The first part discusses the history of the creation of Pakistan in the backdrop of the construction of Minar-e-Pakistan, examining the rise and fall of nations and comparing it with other historical monuments around the world. The second part, titled “Qahat-ul-Rijal,” reflects on the scarcity of great personalities, lamenting this societal decline through the metaphor of Pharaoh’s dream. Combining bureaucracy and literature, Mukhtar Masood’s precise style, intellectual depth, and literary brilliance make this book an invitation for readers to contemplate the past, present, and future.
