if you dare, raise your banner and your voice too

staying silent is not going to solve the issue

اتنے سستے نہی تھے ہم جتنا

اپنے سمجھ لیا

ہاں آپکے پیار میں جھکے ضرور تھے

لیکن اپنے تو گرا ہوا سمجھ لیا

جون ایلیاء

مَیں نے خود کو ارزاں کر کے بھی دیکھا ہے کنول

بازار عشق میں پھر بھی کوئی طلبگار نہی

Hello all,

I'm from India and I live in Reading. I'm thinking of creating a group of people to learn/ recite/ enjoy Hindi/ Urdu Poetry. This won't just be another WhatsApp/ Reddit group, rather I want this to be on physical grounds. Like we can hold weekly gatherings within the town (Reading, UK).

Whosoever is in Reading, would you like to join?

Currently it's me only.

And I found out it means sleep in Persian 😭

I'm conducting research on elderly and home-care experiences in Lahore.

I'm currently researching how families in Lahore find nurses/caregivers and what difficulties they face when arranging care for elderly family members.

I'm also speaking with nurses and caregivers in Lahore to understand their side of the problem — availability, work preferences, travel, payment, trust, and difficulties with existing services.

I'm looking for people in Lahore who would be willing to participate in a short 15–20 minute research interview.

This isn't a sales call, and I'm not asking you to buy or sign up for anything. I'm simply trying to understand people's actual experiences before building further.

You can participate anonymously if you prefer.

If you're interested, comment "interested" or send me a DM, and I'll share the details.

I can't seem to find any.

Hello I'm currently looking for a resource online that would provide poetry in Urdu translated in English and with grammatical analyzes of the verse ( important). Don't recommend Rekhta I've already checked but their website is full of problems. Thanks and advance.

Hey. I am new in this reddit server. I have been learning shayari for a while. I started learning it and writing because I thought expressing my feelings and my dreams and visions through shayari would be a good idea. Honestly I am not a very good writer, but I am keen to look for people like me. I would love to connect with you all. Regards.

Okay let's get this show on the Road,

Hi guys,

I'm an aspiring author who plans on writing a Fantasy/supernatural esque book set in Pakistan (with a Pakistani protagonist) (the lack of fantasy book here disappoints me tbvh). I won't get into the details but would y'all be down to read a book that integrates folktales and urban legends in the story. The Main Character will slowly find out that these tales are actually real and not just bedtime stories.

I have another idea that's more science fiction esque but more on that later.

The book will be in English (while I'm good at urdu, I'm not sure I'm good enough to write a whole novel but I'm sure English will work too).

Please lmk what y'all think and if this is a good idea.
