This collection was published by Naya Idara in Lahore and stands as the sole publication during his lifetime, despite his consistent writing throughout his years. This edition of the book faithfully revives the original publication, preserving it in its exact form as it was initially presented. Following Amjad's passing, the manuscripts of his unpublished poetry were safeguarded by Javaid Qureshi, who served as the deputy commissioner of Sahiwal at the time. In 1976, Javaid Qureshi and others released a second collection of Amjad's poetry under the title "Shab e Rafta Ke Baad." It wasn't until 1989 that Urdu critic Khawaja Muhammad Zakariya undertook the task of editing and publishing a comprehensive collection of Amjad's works, titled "Kuliyat e Majeed Amjad."

Autorenporträt
Majeed Amjad was born on June 29, 1914, in Jhang, a small town in the Pakistani province of Punjab. He received his early education from his maternal grandfather and later studied Arabic and Persian under his supervision at a local mosque. He then enrolled in a government school, completing his Matriculation certificate in the first division from Islamia High School, Jhang. He continued his education at Government College, Jhang, where he obtained his Intermediate exam in the first division. Seeking further educational opportunities, he moved to Lahore, eventually earning his bachelor's degree in 1934 from Islamia College Lahore.During the challenging times of the Great Depression, even educated individuals like Amjad faced limited economic opportunities. He returned to Jhang and joined a weekly newspaper called Arooj as an editor, where he regularly published his own prose and poetry. However, due to a poem he wrote against the British Empire during the onset of World War II, he was forced to leave the newspaper. Subsequently, he found employment as a clerk in the Jhang District Board. In 1944, he joined the civil supplies department established by the government to ration food and clothing. He served in the Food Department until his retirement in 1972, living in various towns across Punjab, including Lyallpur (now Faisalabad), Gojra, Muzaffargarh, Rawalpindi, Arifwala, Lahore, and Montgomery.In 1939, Amjad married his cousin, a schoolteacher, but due to their differing opinions, they eventually divorced. For the last 28 years of his life, Amjad resided in Sahiwal, while his wife stayed in Jhang. He spent his final days in Farid Town, Sahiwal, where he passed away on May 11, 1974. He was laid to rest in Lolly Shah Graveyard, Jhang.
