List of Imran Series by Ibn-e-Safi

Imran Series is the best-selling series of Urdu spy novels written starting from 1955 until his death in 1980 by Ibn-e-Safi.[1][2]

Both Doctor Dua-go and Jonk Ki Wapsi were published as a series of episodes in the Daily Hurriyat, and later published in the form of books by "Asrar Publications" (the regular publishers of Imran Series). Zehrili Tasveer and Bebakon Ki Talash were then written in the continuity of Jonk ki Wapsi and were published by the above in book form. For this reason, these books are numbered at the end, otherwise they should not be considered "out of continuity".

Ali Imran and Safdar Saeed were also featured in a Jasoosi Dunya novel, Zameen Ke Badal (#75). This was the only novel in which Safi brought Colonel Faridi and Imran together, but due to a highly heated response from fans, he never repeated the experiment.

Following is the complete list of 120 novels written by Ibn-e-Safi in Imran series. (Original number, original title (Roman), original title (Urdu), translated tile in parentheses, year first published.)
