Bahadur Shah Zafar

    Bahadur Shah Zafar was a prolific writer.  His greatest writing achievement was his collection of poetry.  From what is known a large amount of his poetry was destroyed during and after the War of Independence, but even what remained is quite a large amount and contains some of the finest Urdu poetry.  I have included on this site the complete collection of his poems, ie. Kulyat Zafar.  A number of publishers try to lay claim to the copyright to his works.  As far as I know they make no copyright payments to his descendants or to any of the foundations under his name.  Due to the passage of time any copyrights have expired all over the world.  The poetry on this site has been put here for the love of this great Emperor.  It is in Adobe format, the Inpage format is also available on this site.  The sections it is divided under are just as they were typed and have no significance.  Later on they will be divided into logical sections.
