Javed Akhtar, Waseem Barelvi & More at Jashn-e-Rekhta Grand Mushaira | Sunday Special

In this Jashn-e-Rekhta Grand Mushaira, poetry, culture, and humanity share the same stage. The evening begins with applause, warm introductions, and the charm of a live mehfil. Then the performance deepens. Azhar Iqbal’s hosting, Ajm Shakari’s emotionally charged ghazals, Nausha Israr’s hopeful and homeland-rooted shayari, Javed Akhtar’s piercing, reflective kalam, and finally Wasim Barelvi’s timeless ghazal style. Together, they create a night that stays with you.

You’ll hear poetry about love, loneliness, truth, society, language, and the relationship between “words and meaning.” These couplets and nazms carry an aftertaste that lingers long after the applause fades.
