Happy New Year to one and all!

Happy Janmashtami friends. . A few years ago, I recited a nazm, on Lord Krishna, by Hafeez Jalandhari. . Hafeez Jalandhari was a master of Urdu poetry, and it's fascinating that he wrote this nazm dedicated to Lord Krishna and since it is over 80 years old, the then use of heavy Urdu language adds to the depth and richness of his work, making it challenging for readers like me too. 😬😬.

This nazm ( a thematically focused poem), shows Hafeez's respect, love and admiration for Lord Krishna. It blends cultural and religious theme with poetic elegance. The love of Radha and Krishna has found its way into the hearts of Urdu poets more so in the Mughal courts. The depth of their story really bridges cultural and religious divides, making it a powerful theme in both poetry and dance like Kathak. It’s truly a beautiful example of how art and spirituality can transcend boundaries. Enjoy the nazm.
