  1. (Bang-e-Dra-121) Jawab-e-Shikwa (The Answer To The Complaint) جوابِ شکوَہ

    دل سے جو بات نکلتی ہے اثر رکھتی ہے
    پَر نہیں، طاقتِ پرواز مگر رکھتی ہے

    کی محمّدؐ سے وفا تُو نے تو ہم تیرے ہیں
    یہ جہاں چیز ہے کیا، لوح و قلم تیرے ہیں

  3. I'm starting Desī poetry!

    If you've ever been intrigued by poetry from the Indian subcontinent (hence "desi"), I will be doing English translations of beautifully written songs.

    You can enjoy them for the music (which is FANTASTIC), but these are also some of the most beautiful words put together. A lot of these songs are iconic, and some are gems that I've found. You could also just come for the culture :)

  11. 𝗔𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗼 𝗘𝘁𝘆𝗺𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘆, 𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀

    The word "khaki" is a loan from Urdu خاکی‎ xākī, a loan from Persian, from خاک xâk "earth", from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eh₂s [ħaχs], something like this (listen):

    🔊 ancientsounds.net/eastern-orig

    English "ash" (the grey-coloured burnt substance) also descends from *h₂eh₂s:

    🔊 ancientsounds.net/eastern-orig

    In most Indo-European languages, *h₂ usually developed into [a], but in Iranian it's sometimes [x]. If you want a more detailed but much more technical explanation of the Proto-Indo-European "laryngeals" and how they were possibly or probably pronounced, try this: ancientsounds.net/laryngeals.h

  13. A famous opening #Couplet from #MirzaGhalib #Poetry

    ہزاروں خواہشیں ایسی کہ ہر خواہش پہ دم نکلے
    بہت نکلے مرے ارمان لیکن پھر بھی کم نکلے

    A thousand wishes—each one worth dying for.
    So many longings came forth, and still they felt like too few:
    desire outruns every satisfaction.

  17. Khusrau darya prem ka, ulti wa ki dhaar
    خسرو دریا پریم کا الٹی وا کی دھار
    霍斯劳啊 爱的河海 水流颠倒

    Jo utra so doob gaya, jo dooba so paar
    جو اترا سو ڈوب گیا جو ڈوبا سو پار
    入水之人必定沉没 沉没之人必定渡过

  18. Zanjeer Album Release Show

    Scherer 8, Saturday, April 4 at 08:00 PM GMT+2

    We in Zanjeer are happy to announce for April 4th the release show for our new LP "Seher-e-Maqhoor" (Dawn of the Oppressed) . Zanjeer is a hardcore punk band from Germany that sings primarily in Urdu language that's native to Pakistan and India. Our lyrics address issues faced by the marginalized people of both the Global North as well as the Global South.

    This event which will happen at Scherer8, is a donation based soli for victims of the ongoing colonial oppression in Balochistan, a region divided between Iran and Pakistan who's inhabitants face horrific circumstances and who's natural resources are plundered constantly.

    We'll be joined by our friends in Snake Eater (Netherlands), Bobson Dugnutt (Italy), and fellow Berlin punks Mundo En Guerra.

    Doors at 8, starts at 9.

  22. So #GreenParty material was also offered in #Urdu. What's the big deal?

    If #GortonAndDenton had been a community in rural #Wales, it would make sense to offer material in #English too, for those constituents who don't speak the native tongue.

    So again, what's the big deal?
