Khayaal means thought, a fleeting whisper of the mind, soft as mist, yet powerful enough to stir oceans within. It is where memory meets imagination, where reality bends gently into reverie. Khayal doesn’t follow rules; it flows, drifts, pauses, and returns when you least expect it. It is the beginning of poetry, the seed of longing, the silence between words. In khayal, we find not just what we think—but who we are when we dare to feel.

In this episode of Urdunama, we take you on a journey of revival through the words of poets and their timeless verses, exploring how poetry breathes new life into emotions, memories, and dreams.
