    May Day with Alif Sifar ~ Urdu Poem

    Zabaan-e-aam brings you Alif Sifar's poem on May Day in Urdu. This poem presents the state of labourers who work hard through the day in the scorching heat. This is our second May Day episode this year, but after reading this poem, I really wanted it to be shared on our podcast. Thanks a lot to the poet Alif Sifar. Alif Sifar, as he likes to call himself, is an amateur poet, loves urdu like his second mehbooba. He is based out of Bambai, and spends most of his time doomscrolling on X, formerly Twitter. As he likes to describe him self- बड़ी मुश्किल से हुआ हूँ सिफ़र मुझ में कुछ जोड़ घटाया ना कर Background music is by Music by andrii g. from Pixabay

    May Day with Ashwani Kumar

    Zabaan-e-aam is back with a new episode. Our first in 2026. :) This year's May Day episode is by our young comrade Ashwani, who has shared his observations in the form of poetry. The poem looks at how the city invisibilizes labour. As we go about our busy lives, the workers and labourers who complete the circle of the economy get replaced and some of us hardly notice the difference. It is important to remember those who help us through our day and when they are away, their absence makes a difference. The recent Noida protests by the factory workers are a reminder that the basic need of an 8-hour workday and dignity of labour are still missing. The workers toil tirelessly in the factories and are humiliated by the managers even when they take a washroom break. If they are late, they are sent back. An increase from 11,000 to 13,000 hardly makes a difference in an economy where the cost of essentials has gone up so much. It is important for more voices to speak out for these workers and the workers across the country so that they get decent wages and are treated fairly, as humans. Ashwani is your comrade, who's exhausted striving through the same world as yours. they hold on to kindness as their tool for revolution, and work to inform narratives with evidence. If they are not processing their rage through poems or revelling in sadness, they can be found in the kitchen cooking. More of my thoughts can be found on @ashwanirdeshak on instagram. The Urdu poem I have shared is by Asrarul Haq Majaz ~ 'Mazduron ka Geet'. You can read it here on the Rekhta website: https://www.rekhta.org/nazms/mazduuron-kaa-giit-mehnat-se-ye-maanaa-chuur-hain-ham-asrarul-haq-majaz-nazms Please feel free to leave your comments.

    Agha Shahid Ali's poetry ~ I see Kashmir from New Delhi at Night' and 'Flight 423' on Begum Akhtar

    A lot has happened in India and globally in the past two months and I had stopped reading and working on my podcast till I opened the book The Veiled Suite, a collection of poems by Agha Shahid Ali. It brought me to tears reading about the passing away of Begum Akhtar and another poem on the atrocities we never see which happen in Kashmir. I read the 2 poems in this podcast titled 'I see Kashmir from New Delhi at Night' and 'I Dream I Am the Only Passenger on Flight 423 to Srinagar'. The Sahapedia reference by Manan Kapoor is from this article https://www.sahapedia.org/how-legendary-begum-akhtar-influenced-life-and-poetry-agha-shahid-ali
