Khud-garifta (with a preface by Javed Akhtar) is a much awaited majmua [anthology] of Ijlal Majeed’s ghazals. His poetry is defined by his subtle and unique take on existence. For instance this couplet on existence:
Mittii thaa, kisne chaak pe rakh kar ghumaa diyaa
Voh kaun haath the ki jo chaaha banaa diyaa   
Ijlal Majeed is a Bhopal-based poet who prefers solitude.  A retired Professor of History at the Saifia College, Bhopal, Ijlal sahib has been known and well regarded as a poet as his poetry and essays on poetry have been published in both Urdu and Hindi. In Bhopal -- the city of enlightened Begums who nurtured literature, among a circle of connoisseurs and rasiks who can be best described as a latter-day ‘Halqa-e-arbab-zauq’ – Ijlal sahib has enjoyed a reputation as a ba-zauq person and a poet for over five decades.
Organized by Hindustani Awaaz, in collaboration with The Attic and Yatra Books.
