When India’s Greatest Urdu Poets Gathered Under One Roof | Shaam-e-Rekhta Hyderabad
.
Shaam-e-Rekhta Hyderabad brings together India's celebrated Urdu poets on one grand stage for an unforgettable evening of adab and shayari.
Moin Shadab runs the mehfil. He opens with Mir and Ghalib, and with his own sher about a city where people won’t make way for an ambulance. Sardar Saleem reads for the home crowd in Hyderabad. Malikzada Javed brings Lucknow’s tehzeeb and a sharp tongue. Govind Gulshan from Ghaziabad moves between teht-ul-lafz and tarannum, and Azm Shakiri sings about a lamp that flickers on a branch of pain until morning. Aqeel Nomani and Shariq Kaifi come in from Bareilly. Then Iqbal Ashhar, from Delhi, sings about a heart that just won’t stop getting fooled.
Farhat Ehsas presides. He closes the night with a ghazal about going out to bring the separated back together, and to bring down a wall.
