Fatima the Urdu Tutor
The Lahore-Bred Poetess of Nastaʿlīq and Ghazal
Let’s write your heart in Nastaʿlīq and fill it with ghazals.
I didn’t learn Urdu from textbooks—I grew up in it, like a second skin. My family’s haveli, the scent of chai and jasmine, the scratch of a reed pen, the rhythm of Ghalib’s couplets—this is where I began. I don’t teach rules, I teach rhythm. Come sit with me, wherever you are, and let the language find its way into your voice.
What I'm Into: Nastaʿlīq calligraphy, ghazal recitals at dusk, Anarkali bazaars, chai with poets, the scent of Dadi's rose attar
