Travelling is not always about places. Sometimes, it is about people, memories, dreams, love, loss, questions, and the strange roads we travel within ourselves.
Ibn-e-Batuta is a collection of poems, dohas, fragments, and small stories about wandering through all of these things.
From the dreams of a city to the loneliness of a room, from the moon of Ibn-e-Insha to the mysticism of Amir Khusrau, from love and longing to inequality, faith, society, and the desire to live freely—the book moves without following a single road.
Some pages are poems. Some are conversations. Some are memories. Some are simply thoughts that refused to stay inside the writer's head.
This is not a book about the historical Ibn Battuta alone.
It is about the Ibn-e-Batuta within us—the part that wants to leave, to see, to question, to dream, to meet people, to lose itself, and perhaps to find itself again.
For everyone who has ever felt the urge to say:
“Ab chalna chahiye.”
For those who wander.
About the Author
Prasoon Jadon is a writer, poet, developer, and young intellectual from India. His writing moves between poetry, philosophy, society, technology, and the everyday stories of people.
He writes in Hindi, Urdu, and English, with a particular interest in poetry, mysticism, philosophy, social questions, and the strange little moments that often become stories.
Curiosity is at the centre of his work. He enjoys wandering between disciplines, questioning ideas, and finding connections between things that may seem unrelated.
Ibn-e-Batuta: For Those Who Wander is his collection of poems, fragments, dohas, and reflections.
Prasoon does not consider himself a great poet.
He is simply another Ibn-e-Batuta—
wandering, writing, questioning, meeting people, and collecting stories along the way.
