Suleman Tariq — In His Own Words

DID YOU KNOW?The word “Shabnam” means “dew” in Urdu, and it’s a combination of two Persian roots — “Shab” (night) and “Nam” (moisture).
So, “Shabnam” literally means “the moisture of the night.” In Urdu poetry, it’s more than a natural phenomenon — it symbolizes quiet sorrow, fragility, and emotional stillness, often compared to tears that fall in silence.DID YOU KNOW?The Urdu word “Hijr” (separation) is derived from the Arabic root “hajara,” meaning ‘to part’.
In poetry, “Hijr” is not just physical distance — it reflects deep emotional emptiness. Ghazals often revolve around this pain. Its poetic counterpart is “Visal” (union), a moment of spiritual or romantic completeness that lovers yearn for.DID YOU KNOW?The term “Mehfil” comes from Arabic and means a refined gathering, often for poetry or music.
In Urdu tradition, a Mehfil is more than an event — it’s a cultural ritual. From Mughal courts to modern Mushairas (poetry nights), Mehfils have preserved centuries of expression, art, and literary depthDID YOU KNOW?“Zehar Khanda” is a Persian-Urdu phrase that means ‘poisoned smile’.
It refers to a smile that hides pain, sarcasm, or quiet strength — and is widely used in classical Urdu poetry. Such a smile often symbolizes grace in adversity, a dignified resistance to emotional wounds.
DID YOU KNOW?“Khaamoshi” in Urdu doesn’t just mean silence — it’s often louder than speech in poetry.
Used by poets like Faiz and Ghalib, Khaamoshi can represent resistance, resilience, inner storms, or untold love. It shows how even stillness in Urdu literature is deeply expressive and layered with meaning.
