Who am I to judge?
Seriously, who am I?
I'm cracked from the edges,聽
Seeping in between.聽
What right do I have to hold up a mirror to you?

In recent years, I too have found a new love in South Asian languages and literature. I鈥檝e always had a fond attachment to Rumi <3. But I鈥檝e expanded my palate to include some of Pakistan鈥檚 authors and poets. I鈥檝e even begun to indulge myself in Urdu poetry by reading and writing. Haven鈥檛 gotten to the point where I can write Urdu properly, although my reading skills have gotten better.聽
Dark Academia for Brown People
聽Most people, when they think of dark academia is books (that鈥檚 the whole point) and ancient languages such as Latin or Ancient Greek. I鈥檓 here to tell you that you all are SLEEPING on brown culture. Love that is conveyed in the languages of Persian and Urdu (my native language) crosses borders. Sure, Shakespeare and Sappho wrote great pieces of literature but the stories and poems of Rumi, Manto, Hafez and Iqbal have a special place in my heart.聽
Some of my favourites are:- (all are translated)
Sit at my grave with wine and a minstrel in a trance,聽so your smell will raise me from the dead.
HAFEZ
My lover鈥檚 sadness lit a fire in my heart that burned my chest,聽there was a fire in his house that burned the nest.
HAFEZ
O the day turned night, what a shame, a gazelle of kindness a lion became,聽my partner and lover grew tired of my words and prayers too.
RUMI
These are my personal favourites. I can always make a longer post if you all want.
Female poets deserve a whole other post.
As someone who goes to an English-Medium school, we are always taught to converse in English, see the language as a part of yourself but deny a place to Urdu. As I grow older, I have come to appreciate my identity and so should all my fellow brown people. Take pride in your mother tongue.

Really liked this a lot. The mystery of not knowing where you鈥檙e headed may seem scary, but it鈥檚 exciting.聽

If there鈥檚 a book that you want to read, but it hasn鈥檛 been written yet, then you must write it.
