The Quint’s Urdunama turns 50 episodes old.

On the 50th episode of your favourite podcast, we bring you a theme in poetry that you felt describes us the best – Sukoon.

Sukoon means tranquillity, a sense of inner calm and peace, which, poets have described, comes as a result of acceptance and love.

Tune in as Fabeha Syed recites Sahir Ludhianvi and Faiz – two of the tallest poets of the sub-continent who have left behind the legacy of advocating ‘sukoon’ through their art.
