Thank You for the readings at KGAF. It was beautiful. I have been fascinated by the language for many years now and would like to learn it. Please let me know where I can learn Urdu in Mumbai
Hi Vasudha, thanks for being there at KGAF. Pls refer to our blog post titled Urdu Taleem, for more details on learning the language.
Hope to see you at future Urduwallahs events as well :)
I am so grateful to you for posting an authentic translation of such a beautiful ghazal. I love to sing ghazals but unless I understand them, I don’t dare practice them. Now I will be able to make the music and sing this ghazal. Thanks to you.
