me with astonishment and envy. Certainly Easterns

PROFESSOR V. N. BHUSHAN
" The first thing that strikes a reader of Sir Nizamat's
poetry is its scrupulous craftsmanship. Sonnets, odes,
lyrics, narrative poems—in all these he shows himself
as a master of correct versification. This by itself is
no small achievement. But Sir Nizamat's greater
achievement is in the thought-content of his poetry.
More subjective than objective, he often, fills his poems
with effusions of deep personal feeling and experience.
Not just fanciful, his ideas and thoughts have a striking
philosophical and even mystical value. Especially
in his poems where he writes of such profound themes as
Beauty, Love, Truth, Light and Nature—Sir Nizamat
is at his best and brightest. He writes as one who has
deeply pondered some of the fundamental problems
of the here and the hereafter, and as one who has
genuine poetic inspiration."
