Mehfil-e-Mushaira

I recently discovered a great site, Mehfil-e-Mushaira. As they describe themselves, Mehfil-e-Mushaira is the first ever web site to present audio clips of Urdu poetry in poets' own voice. This collection of audio is from mushairas held all over the world and covers a wide range of poets. An English translation of the poetry is also provided for select pieces.

If you are interested, check the link in the left hand navigation column.

What can one say but wa, wa!
