Geopolitical conflict is all over the screens - from the small to the big ones What is likely to happen? What is likely to be Iran's strategy? And since 'सबको अपनी ही किसी बात पर रोना आया" what is likely to happen to stock markets and oil? My perspective based on data and history...

Poetry and parallels Dr Salman Akhtar quoted this sher illustrating that the desired closeness in love can not quite be reached मैं तेरी जात में गुम हो सका ना तू मुझ में बहुत करीब हुए लेकिन फिर भी फासला तो रहा Here's another one on the tantalising, imperfect, just slipping away nature of love from one of my favourite poets, Robert Browning "How is it under our control To love or not to love? I would that you were all to me, You that are just so much, no more. Nor yours nor mine, nor slave nor free! Where does the fault lie? ... Infinite passion, and the pain Of finite hearts that yearn." Lovely convergence of thought across two different languages The whole Browning poem is worth reading. poetryfoundation.org/poems/43778/tw… #poetry #weekend @gulrayys @ChhotiKavita @nirupamakotru @Rekhta @toonfactory

Good Poetry vs. Bad Poetry: Depth of Meaning and Philosophical Reflection These days, as I read through contemporary Urdu poetry, a recurring disappointment strikes me. Most verses seem to fall into the category of “bad poetry” because they convey only a single, obvious meaning. In contrast, good poetry is that which yields multiple layers of interpretation, reflects profound philosophical insights into life, and leaves the reader with something enduring to ponder. The primary characteristic of bad poetry is its one-dimensional nature. It presents just one idea or emotion that is immediately grasped. Expressions like “my heart is broken” or “love has betrayed me,” when rendered in plain and predictable language, offer nothing new to the reader. Such verses provide momentary emotional comfort, much like hearing an old story retold in fresh words. There is neither beauty of expression nor freshness of thought. Consequently, these poems are quickly forgotten because they fail to leave a lasting impression on the mind or soul. Good poetry, on the other hand, possesses the vastness of the universe within a few compact lines. It generates multiple meanings that depend on the reader’s intellectual level, personal experiences, and way of thinking. Consider Ghalib’s famous couplet: “Thousands of desires, each worth dying for.” On the surface, it speaks of countless longings, each demanding one’s very life to fulfill. Yet, diving deeper, the verse reveals the philosophy of human restlessness, the futility of endless desires, the constant struggle of existence, and the inherent tragedy of life. One reader may interpret it in the context of romantic love, another as an existential crisis, and yet another as a commentary on societal pressures and the loss of personal freedom. Thus, a single couplet unfolds into several distinct interpretations. Similarly, Mir Taqi Mir’s verse: “Why inquire about Mir’s faith and religion now,
When those who question were never priests themselves?” At one level, it suggests Mir’s freedom from religious orthodoxy. At another, it sharply satirizes those who criticize others’ beliefs while being imperfect themselves. The couplet touches upon religious hypocrisy, human frailty, and social double standards. The more one reflects, the more layers it reveals. Good poetry reflects the philosophy of life because it goes beyond mere emotions. It offers deep insights into human existence, the universe, time, love, death, and reality. Poets like Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Allama Iqbal, Jon Elia, and Parveen Shakir have given us verses that are not only aesthetically beautiful but also intellectually stimulating. Reading them, one feels that the poet has not merely voiced personal feelings but has spoken as the voice of collective humanity. In today’s digital age, thousands of poems are shared daily on social media, mostly written for quick “likes.” Simplicity has given way to superficiality. Poets repeatedly recycle the same ideas and complaints. As a result, poetry has largely become a tool for emotional relief rather than a medium of profound expression. Its true power — multiplicity of meaning, philosophical depth, and the magic of language — seems to have been lost. Good poetry compels the reader to return to it again and again. Each reading uncovers a new layer, sparks a fresh thought, and reveals life from a new perspective. Bad poetry ends with a single reading; good poetry accompanies one throughout life. Therefore, while reading poetry, we should not settle for mere emotional satisfaction. We must ask ourselves: Does this verse raise any questions in my mind? Does it teach me something new about life? If the answer is yes, it is good poetry. Otherwise, it is merely a collection of words.
