O Des Se Aane Wale: Exile, Memory, and the Immigrant Heart in Akhtar Shirani’s Poetry
In this episode, we explore “O Des Se Aane Wale Bata” through the lens of migration, exile, and diasporic longing. Akhtar Shirani’s nazm becomes a voice for those separated from their homeland—echoing the ache of distance, the fragility of memory, and the desperate hope for news from “home.” What does it mean to carry your country in your heart while living far from it? How does the nazm speak to the emotional landscape of immigrants, refugees, and wanderers? Join us for a heartfelt discussion on poetry, place, and the timeless search for belonging.
