Invite:

We gather to share a timeless art,

Where poetry speaks to the human heart.

A journey through verses, tender and true,

Exploring the solace they offer to you.

From Urdu’s metaphors, rich and profound,

To English lines where stories abound,

We’ll weave a tapestry, both vast and wide,

Of healing words that bridge and guide.

For doctors and patients, for all who seek,

A language of empathy, quiet yet deep.

Through rhyme and rhythm, together we’ll find,

Hope, resilience, and peace of mind.

So, join us, dear friends, in this sacred space,

Where poetry’s magic will leave its trace.

An evening of reflection, of strength, and care.

Come, let the rhymes of healing repair.

We hope to see you there!
