All the artform is the expression of the artist behind it. And it's the way of izhaare-e-khayal or the expression of thought that paves the way to that art's success. The art that we focus on in this series is poetry. From Mirza Ghalib to Shakeel Badayuni, here is how to express when in love or distress.Tune in!

Gustaakhi meaning audacity, bluntness, 'bebaaki', is a virtue that allows us to set personal boundaries. How far we must go to maintain them is a matter of personal choice. But in Urdu poetry the word 'gustaakhi' comes with its own weight.  Tune in as Fabeha Syed reads some of the gems of Urdu poetry. 

They say that variety is the spice of life, but how often do we find variety to help us get rid of the monotony? Hardly.  'Zaaiqa' means taste. So, to find some respite in mundane day-to-day activities, and to add some 'taste' to an otherwise boring life, it is advised to be as innovative as one can be. Tune in and learn a tip or two from poets who tell us what 'zaiqa' stands for them. 

'Ruswai' or the theme of 'disgrace in love' has often been the extent to which a poet can go to prove the beloved, his loyalty. Tune in as we read poets like Kafeel Azaar Amrohvi, Gulzar, Arzoo Lakhnavi, among others. 

Fools do rush in but that's what most of us do when hopelessly in love.  But in this episode we don't essentially look at the fools or 'ahmaqs' who fall in love, but what it is that one does to be qualified as a fool. Tune in as we read Saghar Khayyami's nazm, 'Alauddin ka Tarbooz' and Ahmad Hatib Siddiqui's nazm, 'Kaen Kaen Kawwa Ten Ten Mitthu'. 

If you have followed Urdunama so far, you must have figured by now the reasons for the shayar's angst and joy. It is usually the masla-e-hijr-o-visaal-e-yaar meaning the problems of separation and union with the beloved, that keeps the poet up at night and worries about his future with the one he feels to be in love with.  This desire of meeting the beloved sometimes gives him hope, but more often that not, it also takes that away from him.  Tune in as Fabeha Syed reads some gems by Mirza Ghalib, Amjad Islam Amjad, Faiz Ahmad Faiz, and others, and explores the different emotions these poets go through while writing about 'visaal'.

Aasman meaning sky stands for hopes and possibilities, in Urdu poetry. Sometimes it is also used in the context of heartaches and tragedies. Tune in to know the many meanings and other contexts of the sky which is limitless. 

Ranjish meaning displeasure, or grief, is a powerful emotion. If used wisely, it can open wounds to healing, and strengthen us to the core enabling us to carry our love and grief. Tune in as we explore through the works of Ahmad Faraz, Sheikh Ibrahim Zauq, Akhtar Shirani, and others. 

They say Law of Attraction works when you work toward your dreams. But what it is that makes you realise and get you started in the first place? Courage, to come face to face or ‘ru-ba-ru' with the elephant in the room. After all, its the things that we feel are impossible, hold the most possibilities for us.  Tune in, as we get closer and ‘ru ba ru' the idea of facing the ‘self' and finding the universe within.

1 October is observed as the International Day For the Older People. So, we decided to explore buzurgi, meaning wisdom of an old person. Tune in as we, through the works of poets like Firaq Gorakhpuri, Ismail Merathi, among others, look at what it means to be a 'buzurg'. Tune in!

To understand the idea of secularism, going back to books is often considered a better way. Yet, those who love poetry swear by some of the gems written in Urdu and revere them as antidotes to hatred or any socio-cultural chaos.   So, to prove the point that poetry can cure most ills, we turn to poets like Mir Taqi Mir and Mirza Ghalib in this special episode of Urdunama with Fabeha Syed. Tune in as we attempt to find our Secularhythm through some verses. Tune In!

From detecting evidence of clouds on a planet for the first time to being able to see Jupiter with its moon in a 'new light', the $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope is hailed as the most powerful space science telescope ever built. This will enable the scientists to study even the distant galaxies with the help of not only the images but also the detailed data. The telescope is engineered for ground breaking discoveries, thereby changing the future of astronomy.  To celebrate this historic moment, we take a look at 'kahkashan' meaning the universe, and how it continues to inspire poets. Tune in.

Part 1 Guest: Dr. Bruce Lipton I am grateful to Dr. Bruce Lipton for sparing some time to talk to me and discuss some important topics relevant to our times of health, wealth, and energies. Enjoy our conversation and leave a comment and remember to share. Thank you.  About: Dr. Bruce Lipton is a former medical school professor and research scientist. His experiments, and those of other leading-edge scientists, have examined in great detail the processes by which cells receive information. The implications of this research radically change our understanding of life. It shows that genes and DNA do not control our biology; that instead DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our positive and negative thoughts. Dr. Lipton's profoundly hopeful synthesis of the latest and best research in cell biology and quantum physics is being hailed as a breakthrough, showing that our bodies can be changed as we retrain our thinking To learn more about him and his work, please visit his website below: https://www.brucelipton.com/about Highlights in this episode: 1. 0:0 What is the Mass extinction by definition? 2. The last one was 66 million years ago when they were dinosaurs, and the previous ones were not through the human behavior, they were due to a volcano, volcano activity to the asteroids hitting a planet, 3. We are in the sixth mass extinction right now, but it's caused by human behavior, humans are destroying their own environment that they live in 4. Another survey on this time, two-thirds of the animals have disappeared in 1950, 90% of the fish have disappeared from the ocean to everything is made out of energy, and that energy is invisible. -------------------------------------------------------------------------Who is the founder & Owner of LightupwithShua Podcast and LUWS ACADEMY LLC ? visit: lightupwithshua.com I am a student of knowledge of multiple disciplines, a mentor, and an intercultural & Interfaith practitioner, who wants to help heal and solve problems by bringing awareness for conscious living and conscious parenting to people with flexible mindset.

As understood by this famous quote by Lord Byron, "wives in their husbands' absences grow subtler, and daughters sometimes run off with the butler", any form of disloyalty, or bewafai comes from absence. Urdu poet Ahmad Faraz also once wrote that because the separation was intense, the poet had to resort to doing the act of disloyalty, probably for the first time. Is qadar musalsal thin shiddatein judai ki Aaj pehli baar us se maine bewafai ki But the question is, why do people cheat? The answer is simple – because they have to. Tune in as Fabeha Syed dissects the idea of bewafai and reads some of the ashaar written by poets like Mirza Ghalib, Kaifi Azmi, Bashir Badr, among others, on the theme of infidelity.

'Baarish' is a Persian word that means rain, downpour, or something that is in abundance. It symbolises many different things, depending on the context. It could be a union, longing, suffering, or just life in general. It is in the way that 'barsaat' affects us that we decide what it means to us. Poets also have their own interpretations of 'baarish'. In other words, rain fuels an artist's creativity. Music, perhaps, is a great example of such creativity. Whether it's pining for one's lost love or an ecstatic moment with a lover, we can find a treasure trove of songs that always make it to our rainy day playlists. For starters, Sahir Ludhianvi's song 'Zindagi Bhar Nahi Bhoolegi Woh Barsaat ki Raat,' from 1960 Bollywood film 'Barsaat Ki Raat,' is a song that captures the essence and the emotions that rain kindles. Tune in as Fabeha Syed reads some more nazms on 'baarish'.
