Punjabi Poetry From Across the Border

The following videos show Pakistani poet Anwar Masood reciting two of his Punjabi poems.







The latter poem refers to the famous Anarkali Bazar in the city of Lahore.

Recitations of some more of his poems, in his own voice, can be listened to at the website of the Academy of the Punjab in North America.

I would like to thank Asma, for introducing me to Masood saaheb's poetry.

    Do listen to his AMbrhi too, in honor of mothers … heartening!

    Masood Saab’s inimitable style-his choice of words, his smooth delivery…Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I guess “PEKE JA BEGUM” is also from his pen and voice, isnt it?
