भले दिनों की बात है ~ अहमद फराज़

भले दिनों की बात है ~ अहमद फराज़

A nazm which is caught between the two sides of love, one which frees and the other, which grounds. The struggle to pick a side between commitment and freedom in love is put through before the listener's eyes, but Faraz makes sure you aren't able to pick one and disregard the other! :)

Dastoor - Habib Jalib

Dastoor - Habib Jalib

In Dastoor, which means the system or the structure, Jalib is rejecting that country’s constitution. Such poetries of resistance become popular in times of the rise of fascism, as it happened in Pakistan, Germany, Latin America, and, now in India. A similar kind of oppression has been unleashed in India. Much like Jalib, the youth and the common people here are fighting for the constitution. It will not let the government violate it. In Dastoor’s words and imageries, they find apt expressions for their angst.
