Some bad moments

Loves every bit of this application. Beautifully made , nice interface. Thanks a lots!!
I have always wanted to be able to listen to Ghalibjis poetry in Urdu. I was elated to discover this application. I cannot recommend it enough, it is a wonderful way of discovering the real magic of the poetry of the Master, written to be listened to. Many thanks to the developers!
Beautifully recited Ghalibs poetry can be read in Urdu and Roman both. This application is treat for those who enjoy reading classic Urdu poetry.
An app has to be this good for me that I take the time to praise it. I am that lazy. But congrats to the author for making Ghalib accessible to all. The interface is friendly, intuitive, logical and fun. A couple of criticism points: The voice is monotone and pronunciation of a few words incorrect. Sar-o-qamat was read as serv-qamat. A little livelier reading would make it even more fantastic. Thank you!
Thank you for putting all the work into this app! As an English speaker learning Urdu, this is perfect!
A real treat for Ghalib fans. Na sitaayish Ki tamanna, na silay Ki parwa Well done
