Main Kab Se Kitna Hoon Tanha — Javed Akhtar Ki Ghazal | Kavinaama

"मैं कब से कितना हूँ तन्हा, तुझे पता भी नहीं..." Five shers. No takhallus. No resolution. Just a scream that echoes — and the unbearable image of everyone hearing it and no one moving. In this episode of Kavinaama, Kshitij Kawatra and Burair Ashary sit with one of Javed Akhtar's most quietly devastating ghazals. The radif bhi nahin accumulates across each sher like a door closing — no god, no conclusion, no reunion, no grievance left, no response. By the final sher, the poem has become an indictment of collective silence. The words are plain. The ache is enormous. That tension is exactly what this episode unpacks. 🎙️ Kavinaama is a podcast about South Asian poetry — Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi — for the diaspora and everyone who loves the language of the subcontinent.
