Nastaliq script publishing for the language of Ghalib, Faiz, and Iqbal.
Urdu is the language of some of the world's most beautiful poetry — from Mirza Ghalib's ghazals to Faiz Ahmed Faiz's nazms, from Ismat Chughtai's prose to Saadat Hasan Manto's short stories. Publishing in Urdu requires more than translation into a script — it demands a publisher who understands Nastaliq calligraphy, right-to-left layout, and the aesthetic sensibility that Urdu readers expect. At Sapatrishi Publications, we bring this understanding to every Urdu book we produce.
Nastaliq is one of the most visually demanding scripts in the world. Each letter changes form depending on its position in a word, ligatures are complex, and the flowing calligraphic style requires specialized typesetting software and experienced operators. Our team has set Nastaliq type for poetry collections, prose works, religious texts, and bilingual Urdu-English publications — delivering the visual quality that does justice to the language.
What You Should Know
We use professional Nastaliq typesetting tools that produce print-quality Urdu text — not the machine-rendered Naskh that many publishers substitute.
Urdu poetry requires precise formatting — each sher (couplet) needs balanced spacing, and the layout must honour the visual rhythm of the verse. Our typesetters understand these conventions.
We publish Urdu books with nationwide distribution through Amazon and Flipkart, reaching readers across India and the diaspora.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you typeset in Nastaliq or Naskh?
We use Nastaliq for Urdu publications, which is the traditional and aesthetically preferred script style for Urdu. We do not substitute Naskh (the Arabic print style) as many publishers do — Urdu readers notice and care about this difference.
Can you publish a bilingual Urdu-English book?
Yes. Bilingual Urdu-English books are within our expertise. We handle the right-to-left Nastaliq alongside left-to-right English in the same publication, with proper page direction and consistent design.
I have handwritten Urdu poetry. Can you work with that?
Yes. Send us scanned pages of your handwritten manuscript. Our Nastaliq typesetters can work from handwritten originals, converting them to professional digital typeset text while preserving the poet's intended formatting.
