Its foreword has been written by the eminent poet of Urdu literature Qaisar-ul-Jafari and researcher and critic Professor Mujahid Hussain Hussaini. Jamil Ahmed was very beautiful in his youth. Always chirping. Because of this, most of his friends were jealous of him. Whether a great or an ordinary poet, he met all with the same warmth and humility.
