His short nature poems clearly reveal his life long love of the natural world. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br />

Reading this collection is simply enjoying the sweet moments of affection, charm, beauty, desires, dreams and their turning it into reality and sometimes into nightmares, hope, happiness, illusions and disappointment arising out of love. He has beautifully arranged these love lyrics into the garland of this collection which appears to be a simple and sober offering voice to love. Dr. R K Singh rightly observes, “He sounds a human voice, dominated by an elusive beloved in a poetic world which carries a deft touch with emotion and feeling.” </span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">This maiden collection of the poet is truly a splendid work in all the way. I hope his star of creativity will shine brightly in the canopy of literature. Mr. Ejaz Rahim says, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. Hamza, has taken the first step. In due course of time, instinct, emotion and intellect will bear fruit and add new dimensions to his poems.” </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd8SRTkMNR0xCT9V08siydnnBBq1G-k_EQyD3sbQiBMxkD1GzTcHfWg7a4vz0ra7bvjYedaaAC6JdTWG_VaRHiy0npgNlqwiZ3_xgaWG3hLFHYmpw3Xy48BbUxW_vCwetW542vIidNL9k/s1600/title.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd8SRTkMNR0xCT9V08siydnnBBq1G-k_EQyD3sbQiBMxkD1GzTcHfWg7a4vz0ra7bvjYedaaAC6JdTWG_VaRHiy0npgNlqwiZ3_xgaWG3hLFHYmpw3Xy48BbUxW_vCwetW542vIidNL9k/s320/title.JPG" width="210" /></a></div>Hamza Hassan Sheikhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05841099954427030911noreply@blogger.com1
