The cover of Diwan-i Nasir, the first poetic work in Burushaski, honors devotional poetry through a minimalist design. The title, debossed in gold and penned in the author’s handwriting, highlights traditional wisdom and timeless nature of the poetry within. Light as a metaphor for visibility is illustrated by a flame against a rich green tone. This reflects the soul’s journey from separation to reunion with its divine origin, evolving from spark to flame. The back cover introduces eight new letters designed to cover all sounds and the phonetic completeness of Burushaski, an isolate language.
