This selection of Ismail Meeruthi’s poems, written primarily for school children, has been a perennial favourite. The poems range from nursery rhymes to didactic, but charming poems for students of primary level classes. The school textbooks for Urdu which Ismail Meeruthi designed grew outmoded, but the poems themselves have survived because of their simplicity, their charm, and their freshness, which had a different aspect from the stylized and Persianised poetry patronized by the grown-ups.
