Aab-e-Gum is one of the most fascinting books in Urdu on human behaviors, humor and satire with a tinge of sadness.

The story follows Basharat and his adventures in Pakistan. Throughout the book Basharat and his family learn to deal with Pakisitan, their new home while missing India. The book consists of a series of stories that help the listener understand what the author was experiencing as that transition is made.

About the author: Mustaq Ahmed Yusufi is an Urdu satirical and humour writer from Pakistan who has also served as the head of several national and international governmental and financial institutions. He received Sitara-e-Imtiaz and Hilal-e-Imtiaz, the highest literary honors by the Governmet of Pakistan in 1999.

The book is a remarkable classic that masterfully intertwines time travel, offering a profound exploration of life's realities. The author skillfully portrays the innocence of people, the pain masked by smiles, and the hypocrisy pervading society, all with a subtle yet incredibly humorous touch. The narrative style elevates the experience to unprecedented heights, and the narrator's contribution is particularly commendable for enriching the reader's journey.

It's worth noting, however, that the book occasionally suffers from repetitive lines, a minor issue that slightly detracts from the overall reading experience. Hopefully, future editions will address this, ensuring an even more seamless and engaging narrative flow.

Narration 💯

This is a master price of Yusufi Saheb. When you read it mostly Yousufi Saheb voice goes into your head if you heard him before. The way Fawad Khan read to you is amazing listening to him. At first I thought it sounds very similar to “ chakiwara main wisal’, another novel narrated by Fawad but once the characters in the book established and Fawad gets the grip on the characters the book suddenly become very funny.
Fantastic work Fahd. Me and my wife listened to it together and laugh so hard.

laughter unstoppable!

One of the best time-travelling experiences I have ever had listening to this delightful and ably descriptive book.
It took me to the places and culture I had heard from my grandmother and read from other contemporary authors over the years. Even though I understand Urdu up to 70%, it was not keeping me from grasping the essence and enjoying the humor in its entirety. Those certain native mentalities and slang words were quite nostalgic and entertaining.

And the narration to such perfection!
Mr. Fawad Khan brought the characters and emotions so alive and quite desirable...I would rewind and listen to certain parts multiple times just to hear the emotions of the characters.

Thank you Yusufi Saheb and Khan Saheb for this wonderful experience!!

A literary and nostalgic delight!

Narration is outstanding. I never taught i would laugh so hard by listening classic Urdu book. Graphic depiction of cities is amazing. Mullah Aasi has become my fav character. Must listen if you like “ادبى مزاح"
