Few art forms cans articulate the ineffable, foster resilience, and provide solace in the face of life's trials more beautifully than poetry. Yet, it's profound healing potential has not been mined for more practical applications to the daily lives of both the doctor and patient. Drawing from personal experiences in medicine and cancer research, as well as a life long devotion to poetry, I will examine how Urdu, with it's intricate metaphors and deeply emotional resonance, and English poetry with it's rich narrative and structural diversity, offer complimentary pathways to healing. Together, they embody a universal language of empathy and connection that transcends cultural and linguistic barriers. The rhymes of healing serve as therapeutic lens through which we can process grief, find strength and celebrate hope. And then, there is the pure ecstasy of apprehending the deeper meaning of poetry's ability to capture the soul in a moment of reflection.
