When poetry becomes madness — and madness turns into verse.

Meer Taqi Meer’s masnavi “Khaab o Khayaal” is unlike any other. It was written when Delhi lay in ruins and Meer himself was battling the ruins within — exile, poverty, heartbreak, and the gradual descent into madness.

In this exclusive video, we present a complete recital of this masnavi, preceded by a brief history of the Masnavi and followed by a commentary on its nature.

Friends, today Babar Imam and Afeef Seraj are bringing you a very special discussion on one of the most misunderstood concepts of Urdu poetry – Sahl-e-Mumtana ✨

❓ Is every “simple-looking” sher actually Sahl-e-Mumtana?
❓ Or is there something much deeper that makes it almost impossible to write?

We’ll explore its real meaning, examples from the greats like Mir, Ghalib, and Momin, and why this style is the toughest despite looking effortless.

⏰ Video drops this evening on Radio Urdu. Don’t miss it!
