Barzakh: A Bridge Between Two Worlds

Before we start, apologies for being MIA for the last two weeks. Fabeha and Musa have some news for you!

In this episode of Urdunama, Fabeha Syed dives into the mystical word 'barzakh'. Often interpreted as the barrier or partition between the physical and spiritual realms, 'barzakh' carries deep significance in literature, philosophy, and spirituality.

Taking a cue from Fawad Khan and Sanam Saeed’s new show, we explore its roots in Urdu poetry, and how it continues to resonate in contemporary discussions on love, heartbreak, and longing.
