Voice For Poetry

Poetry, especially in Hindi and Urdu, were always meant to be recited aloud, may that be in a Mushaira or in daily conversations. The Shayrs (Poets) painstakingly arranged their words in Behr (Meter), they developed a whole scientific linguistic system to make this possible.

Ghazals, Nazms, Qittas, Ruba'is, you might have heard them sung by great masters of sangeet. But in this channel there will be voice. Steady, flowing voice. Respecting the natural flow of Urdu and Hindi.

Basically, you'll find recitations of poems by Faiz, Ghalib, Momin, Mir, Faraz, Fani, Gulzar, etc along with their lyrics in Devanagari and Nastaliq, as well as their translations in English. Don't just hear the poems and forget them. Let them accompany you in your lives. May each poem alter your life a wee bit, at least.
