Parveen Shakir: Ishq, Inquilab, aur Ek Ladki Ki Awaaz

In this episode, we explore the timeless poetry of Parveen Shakir, one of the most beloved voices in Urdu literature. Her verses carry the fragrance of romance, the ache of heartbreak, and the courage of a woman owning her identity in a deeply patriarchal world. By calling herself a "ladki" in her poetry—a term often dismissed or infantilized—Shakir carved a revolutionary space for femininity, desire, and emotional depth in literature.

We’ll dive into her iconic ghazals, the sadness in her metaphors, her bold romantic imagery, and how she challenged traditional gender norms while remaining delicate, lyrical, and deeply human.

Whether you’re a poetry lover or new to her work, this episode is a tribute to Parveen’s complex, powerful, and ever-relevant voice.

Gorakh Dhanda: The Mystery of God in Poetry | Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan | Mansoor | Adam and Eve

“Khuda ek Gorakh Dhanda hai.”
Why do poets and mystics describe God as a riddle — not a rulebook?

In this episode, we dive into the heart of Hindi–Urdu mystical poetry to explore one of the most haunting ideas: God as a paradox — unknowable, undefinable, yet deeply felt.

🎙️ We explore:

  • What “Gorakh Dhanda” really means

  • How poets like Bulleh Shah, Kabir, and Gorakhnath challenge religious norms

  • Why younger generations are turning to poetry to make sense of life, self, and faith

  • How “divine confusion” might be the start of true understanding

This is more than a poetry episode — it’s a philosophical journey for anyone asking,
“What if God is not an answer… but a question?”

🎧 Whether you’re into Sufi, Bhakti, metaphysics, or just beautiful verses, this episode will resonate.

Follow us for weekly deep dives into poetry, truth, and timeless questions.
