Maan Jee; a Masterpiece Urdu Short Story by Qudratullah Shahab

Qudrat Ullah Shahab (or Qudratullah Shahab; February 26, 1917– July 24, 1986) (Urdu: قدرت الله شهاب) was an eminent Urdu writer and civil servant from Pakistan. He is best known for his autobiography Shahabnama.

He is best known for his autobiography Shahab Nama. In the first chapter, Shahab mentioned how the idea of writing a memoir occurred to him when he paid a visit to Ibn-e-Insha in London. While they were discussing the philosophy of life, it inspired him to pen his own experiences. The complete work was published after his death in 1986, and then soon became a cult favorite among the Urdu knowing circles of the Indian sub-continent.

I feel privileged to share Maan Jee, the most famous and masterpiece Urdu Short Story by Qudratullah Shahab. I am sure you will definitely like the story. Here you go!!

  2. The moment readers start reading "Maa'n Jee", the starting lines make readers lost in such a way that they crave to read it again and again. Whereas, the ending lines make both hearts and eyes cry.
    All the time between reading, "Maa'n jee" gives a reflective sense to readers where they find themselves so much barren and futile yet it sprouts a very soft corner for our mothers.
