…Teri hi nam se har ibtida hai — Teri hi nam tak har intiha hai;
Teri hamd-o-sana, Alhamdulillah — Keh Tu mere Muhammad ka Khuda hai.
Alif-Zabar aaa, alif-zeyr ey, alif-pesh o…
Aaa—Ey—O!
Aaiye, aaiye, tashreef laiye! Velcome to the home of Alif-Zabar!
Hopingfully, this site will share some reflections and dabblings in creative writing. The name of Alif-Zabar pays homage to the age-old method employed by Desi mothers to teach the Arabic and Urdu alphabets, as inspired (maybe not) by Joy Mukherjee Sahab. Please refer to his instructional video.
