If you like historical fiction then you can read Naseem Hijaazi.

My favourite Naseem Hijaazi novels are:
Shaheen
Aakhri Chattan
Qaiser o Kisra
Muhammad bin Qasim

If you like hard core literature then you can go for literary greats like Raja Gidh, Aag ka Dariya, Udaas Naslain...

If you like classical literature you can read Miraat ul Aroos, Firdaus e Bareen, Maidan e Amal etc.

Here's a good selection of Urdu fiction, you can pick out your kind of book and read here:
