A lot of good literature has been written in this century, but if you ask me, nothing can really match up the level of writing in the 18th century. Bollywood and theater actor Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub seconds us by reciting a gem of a poem written by the ‘Father of Nazm,’ Nazir Akbarabadi saheb, on the festival of Diwali.
This video by Active Illusions and Hindi Kavita captures Ayyub reciting the beautiful poem and it makes us fall more in love with Urdu poetry:
