Vaqaar: Urdu Poetry on Dignity, Grace, and Knowing Your Worth | Urdunama
Friday, 30 October, 2026
This week, we turn to 'vaqaar', meaning dignity, grace, and knowing your own worth. Through the poetry of Qateel Shifai, Jaun Elia, and Bashir Badr, we explore the different ways this idea takes shape. From the dignity of the gaze, to the quietness or thoughtful silence we sometimes mistake for grace, to the humility of staying grounded without making ourselves smaller, each poet offers a different way of looking at what it means to carry oneself with 'vaqaar'.Along the way, we ask what dignity looks like beyond appearances, and whether the way we see others might tell us just as much about ourselves. A conversation about Urdu poetry, self-worth, and the small distinctions that make a word like 'vaqaar' so rich. So, tune in. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
