Zer Zabar Paesh

Zer Zabar Paesh is a platform for the study of Urdu poetic tradition by an interdisciplinary designer Faraz Ali. It aims to make this tradition accessible to readers with genuine interest in classical and contemporary Urdu verse and its vast apparatus—including approaches to deep reading, poetics, canon and history, criticism and scholarship, etc. 

It is an attempt  to bring “the tāq-i nisyān” طاقِ نِسْیاں (niche of forgetfulness) into relief and cultivate the faculty of imagination تخيّل(takhayyul). 

Faraz Ali is an award-winning, interdisciplinary designer. Over the past decade, Ali has been studying Urdu literature as both a creative tradition and a sociocultural phenomenon. And to this end, he has engaged in both deep study and experimentation.
