Description
To mark the publication of his latest Urdu poetry collection, Aey Chiragh-e-Ishq (O Lamp of Love), poet, composer and vocalist Naeem Haider joins us for a special event celebrating his work.
Naeem is known for his lyrical style and deep connection to the Urdu poetic tradition. He’ll share poems from the new collection and talk about his writing journey – how poems take shape, how emotion finds its form in language, and how tarannum, the melodic a cappella tradition of sung verse, weaves through his practice as a poet.
Whether you’re a lifelong reader of Urdu poetry or discovering it for the first time, this is a chance to hear from a distinctive and resonant voice in contemporary literature.
Please note this event is in Urdu.
