Poetry And All Things Beautiful Greetings Dear {{ contact.FIRSTNAME | default: "Patron" }},
ہوئی عید سب نے پہنے طرب و خوشی کے جامے نہ ہوا کہ ہم بھی بدلیں یہ لباِس سوگوارا There are moments when it feels as though romance, beauty, love, and culture, the very things that elevate human civilization are slipping away. Yet a quiet voice within reminds me to rethink my circle of concern and my circle of control. So I return to what I can do: create small spaces of peace in times of conflict, and nurture calm amidst the chaos. As Ahmad Salman writes: بس اسی کی ثناء، وہ جو معبود ہے بس اسی کی ثناء،لوگ جیخا کیے میں نے غزلیں کہیں، مجھ کو اپنی سنا،میری شہ رگ سے میرے خدا نے کہا
آپ جیتے رہے آپ کا حوصلہ،حبِس بے جا میں تھی جب شہر کی ہوا میں نے غزلیں کہیں،میں اصولوں وغیرہ کا مارا ہوا
In that spirit, we gather, not in denial of the world’s pain, but in affirmation of beauty, poetry, and community.
Eid Milan Bayt Bazi: A Celebration of Poetry & Community I warmly invite you and your loved ones to a unique cultural gathering.
📅 March 29 | 3 PM 📍 Oasis Center for Intellectual Development 11222 Richmond Avenue Houston, TX 77082
Join us for Eid Milan Bayt Bazi, a literary celebration where lovers of Urdu poetry come together to share verses, memories, and the joy of language. Urdu poetry has gifted the world with some of its most delicate metaphors—ideas too subtle for ordinary speech and emotions too profound for everyday expression. Let us gather to celebrate this tradition and pass it on to the next generation.
