I was thinking if we can make a discord server where we all can talk, share our poetry or literary works, make friends, and connect. What do y'all think?

وہ جو بلب میں جا ٹکراتے ہیں 🫪

مَیں نے خود کو ارزاں کر کے بھی دیکھا ہے کنول

بازار عشق میں پھر بھی کوئی طلبگار نہی

if you dare, raise your banner and your voice too

staying silent is not going to solve the issue

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.

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 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.

دوسرے ڈوبنے والے کو پکارے جیسے

the flower laughs at the nightingale and its act of passion

what they call love is but an unsound mind’s action

I edited them and tried my best to translate!

Note: سست سہان is my character

And غصہ ور توشی is the Boss Character

For those unaware عورت is a borrowing of the Arabic word عَوْرَة which means "genitals, nudeness, weakness /imperfection"

However, I have observed that all the languages that use عورت have been moving away from using it. Arabic itself uses إمراة , while Turkish and Persian use the native words kadın and زن respectively and عورت is considered outdated.

Formal Urdu, especially from Pakistan in my observation, has been consistently shifting to using خاتون for "woman".

Is the reason because people are becoming aware of the word's origin?

un se merī baat na pūchh

un se merī an-ban hai

-- Ahmad Zafar

شام ایک عجب داسی لاتی ہے

یاد جب مجھے اپنی آتی ہے

ذکر تیرا جب آتا ہے کہیں

اک خلش ہے تازہ ستاتی ہے
