Aab-e-Gum (Urdu: آبِ گم) is a 1989 Urdu book by Mushtaq Ahmad Yusufi. The book is a collection of satirical and humorous articles. Aab-e-Gum has also been translated into English under the title, "Mirages of the Mind".[1]

Synopsis

Aab-e-Gum describes some fictional characters who are hilariously nostalgic. Humor has been created by keeping the psychology of these characters and their retrospect in front, in such a way that the book is not only the masterpiece of Mushtaq Ahmed Yusufi but also one of the best in the history of Urdu humour.[2][3][4]

Awards

Aab-e-Gum received the Hijra Award and the National Literary Award for the best book in 1990.[5][6]
