Why Yagana Changezi?
Because his poetry just feels fresh. And when I read about his life, something clicked for me. He was sharp, abrasive, and completely fearless - reshaping 20th-century Urdu poetry, questioning sacred icons, even taking shots at Ghalib when no one else would. He lived a tough life and spoke in a tough voice. Honestly, all the signs of a great poet.You should really read him.

Mirza Ghalib Bday - Nuktacheen hai
Salaam. Today is Mirza Ghalib’s birthday — the OG of Urdu poetry (after Mir, of course).
In this episode, I’m sharing one of my favourite ghazals by Ghalib, which has that gem of a sher - one that meditates on nature, beauty, and the impossibility of fully knowing the Creator. It sits right at the intersection of wonder and doubt, aesthetics and philosophy, and also the debate that just happened. IYKYK
What makes it even more special is that Suraiya ji has also sung this ghazal. If you haven’t heard that rendition yet, do check it out — it adds another layer of softness and longing to an already luminous text.
Thank you for listening.
I’ll be back soon with another episode. iA
Take care.
