After a long time, CBEC faculty indulged in modern Urdu poetry in a Journal Club held on Thursday, June 16, 2022. Dr. Nida Wahid Bashir facilitated the discussion on two poems by internationally renowned Pakistani poet and critic, Harris Khalique. The first poem titled “Niamat Ullah Saeed Bangash” addressed the pain and guilt of oppression unknowingly committed by a professional, while the second poem titled “Salamat Mashki” was a comment on the existing discrimination in society. CBEC faculty appreciated the use of language and unusual sociocultural nomenclature in Harris’s poetry.
