'Ghar' is Where the Heart Is

How poets have captured the longing for 'ghar'.

What makes a house a home? Is it the walls that shelter us, or the emotions that bind us? In this episode of Urdunama, Fabeha Syed unpacks the soul of 'ghar', a word that means so much more than just a home. Through timeless Urdu poetry and heartfelt stories, we explore how poets have captured the longing for ghar, its warmth, and its solace. From the nostalgia of childhood homes to the yearning for a place to call one’s own, discover why 'ghar' is a feeling that transcends time and space.
