ARQ-E-ZABAAN is an exclusive beginner’s workshop on understanding and knowing a language that all of us speak, a language that Amir Khusrow tasted first and the nectar of which reaches all of our tongues even today. This workshop explores the existence of the Hindustani Language, an amalgamation of the Ganga Jamuni tehzeeb; the Hindi-Urdu sisterhood, by studying its origin, history and its components--majorly the structures of a Ghazal and a Nazm. The emphasis is not only to study this language, that we will do through the writings of Ghalib and Faiz, but eventually crafting our own couplets of a Ghazal and forming a Nazm of our own.
