This Women’s Day, let Urdu Poetry Say What Prose Cannot! | Sunday Special | Live at Jashn-e-Rekhta
.
Celebrate International Women's Day with live performances by women Urdu poets at Jashn-e -Rekhta. This mushaira brings together Zehra Nigah, Malka Naseem, Ambareen Haseeb Ambar, Hina Rizvi, and Priyamvada Ilhan. Each performance carries a different register. Quiet grief. Sharp humour. Rage. Tenderness. Pride. The theme stays clear. Life and womanhood, told in lines that do not soften the truth.
