À propos de cet audio
When the heart becomes a mirror, every couplet becomes a revelation.In this special episode of The Mirror Podcast by Radio Urdu Babar Imam and Afeef Seraj dive into the magical world of the aaina in Urdu poetry.
From Ghalib’s cosmic reflections to Mir’s bewildered lovers, from Iqbal’s philosophy of a “shikasta aaina” to Jigar’s storm-struck heart — every couplet hides a universe behind a sheet of glass.
We unpack iconic verses like:
- “Dil ke aaine mein hai tasveer-e-yaar…”
- “Zah-e-zauq-e-husn-e-tasavvur ke un se…”
- “Tu bacha bacha ke na rakh ise, tera aaina hai…”
- “Ek dil hai aur toofan-e-hawaadis…”
Why does the mirror fascinate poets?
What happens when beauty meets reflection?
Is the heart a mirror, or a fragile piece of glass?
Join us as we explore aaina as metaphor, symbol, philosophy and emotion across centuries of Urdu poetry — with humour, depth and a few surprising interpretations along the way.
