इक्कीसवीं सदी में पाकिस्तान में कैसी ग़ज़लें कही जा रही हैं, इसका अंदाज़ा आप इस किताब से लगा सकते हैं। यूँ तो पाकिस्तान में बेशुमार शायर हैं और उनमें से कुछेक को ही इस किताब के लिए चुनना एक चुनौती थी। तो चुनाव का पैमाना यह रखा गया कि शायर ऐसे हों जिनकी ग़ज़लों को हिन्दी के पाठक समझ सकें और उनसे हिन्दुस्तान के लोग कुछ हद तक वाकिफ़ हों। इस पैमाने पर सात शायर ही खरे उतरे और उन सात शायरों की चुनिंदा ग़ज़लें इस किताब में पेश हैं।

इस अत्यंत लोकप्रिय पुस्तक-माला की शुरुआत 1960 के दशक में हुई जब पहली बार नागरी लिपि में उर्दू की चुनी हुई शायरी के संकलन प्रकाशित कर राजपाल एण्ड सन्ज़ ने हिन्दी पाठकों को उर्दू शायरी का लुत्फ़ उठाने का अवसर प्रदान किया। इस पुस्तक-माला का संपादन उर्दू के सुप्रसिद्ध संपादक प्रकाश पंडित ने किया था। हर पुस्तक में शायर के संपूर्ण लेखन में से बेहतरीन शायरी का चयन है और पाठकों की सुविधा के लिए कठिन शब्दों के अर्थ भी दिए हैं। प्रकाश पंडित ने हर शायर के जीवन और लेखन पर - जिनमें से कुछ समकालीन शायर उनके परिचित भी थे - रोचक और चुटीली भूमिकाएं लिखी हैं।

बशीर बद्र मुहब्बत के शायर हैं और उनकी शायरी का एक-एक लफ़ज़ इसका गवाह हैं मुहब्बत हैं-जहाँ तक पहुंचे। यह संकलन उनकी समूची शायरी का प्रतिनिधित्व करता है ं।
