Naseeb KI Likhi Tanhai By Noor Malik

About this novel

Naseeb Ki Likhi Tanhai (Urdu: نصیب کی لکھی تنہائی, “loneliness written in fate”) by Noor Malik is an Urdu family romance that begins in a beautiful house in Karachi. Basir Sahib and Aiman Begum, a wealthy couple, have built their whole world around their beloved daughter Hooria.

The morning sun is out, the birds are singing, and the house looks like a palace even from the outside, with its gleaming white marble walls and modern furniture inside. Only three people live there: Basir Sahib, Aiman Begum, and the sweet, innocent Hooria, who is their life. Basir Sahib’s name stands high in Karachi’s business world. Noor Malik writes that ever since Hooria came into their lives, both of them have felt like the luckiest people alive.

دولت، محبت، اور قسمت میں لکھی ایک تنہائی۔

Nearby, in a luxury apartment by the park, lives Wahab, six feet tall, broad-shouldered, out jogging on the track first thing in the morning until a phone call stops him.

Back at the breakfast table, Basir Sahib keeps looking towards the stairs. “When is my pari coming?” Aiman Begum laughs that his fairy is getting ready for school and will be down any moment; it isn’t even seven yet. She teases him about how much he worries over his darling, and he answers that she’s his darling too and he would carry her on his eyelids if he could.

The title hints that this happy household is heading for loneliness, and the 239 pages explain how. It’s a family drama with a strong emotional pull.
