About the Book Sheikh Noor-ud Din Wali played a vital role in the conversion of Hindu populace of Kashmir to Islam. The Sheikh was not only a Sufi saint but also a religious reformer. Right from the first shaloka up to the end, the reader does not find any trace of escapism in' the book. The English version of Sheik Noor-ud Din Wali's poetry will enable the people of Kashmir to discern their beneficiary and may motivate them to know their language and be ensnared by the beauty of , their culture. That is the primary aim of this book, however non-Kashmiris can also take the advantage of this trans-creation but that would be the secondary aim of the book.
