Zakham poetry is a genre of Urdu poetry that explores the theme of emotional wounds or scars. The word “zakham” translates to “injury” or “hurt” in English, and the poetry in this genre often delves into the pain, trauma, and healing that comes with emotional wounds. The poet uses vivid metaphors and imagery to describe the depth of the wound and the impact it has on the person’s life. Zakham’s poetry can be both introspective and cathartic, as it encourages the reader to confront and process their own emotional pain. It is a powerful medium for self-expression and healing, and it has resonated with readers and listeners for centuries. At Mawraa, we offer a wide range of zakham Urdu poetry, from classic ghazals to contemporary shayaris, all of which capture the raw emotions of the wounded heart.
