Chashma means spring — a quiet source where life begins, hidden beneath the surface until it chooses to rise. It is not loud like a storm, but steady like hope. In Urdu poetry, chashma symbolises purity, emotional release, and quiet resilience. It is the moment the heart overflows, the tear before it falls, the breath before a beginning. A chashma doesn’t just quench — it reveals. It reminds us that from the deepest stillness, something sacred can flow.
In this episode of Urdunama, we trace the gentle path of chashma through verses that speak of renewal, longing, and the beauty of emergence. Join us as we explore how poetry captures the grace of what quietly begins, yet never truly ends.
