Episode 42 | Hamdardi (Allama Iqbal’s Poem For Kids) | Empathy

Bachpan Ki Kahaniyan

BKK #42: This poem is about the story of a Firefly and a Nightingale, and how the Firefly empathizes with a sad Nightingale and helps her in time of need.

Mahwash makes the kids realize that each one of us has been gifted by God a unique strength that we can use to help others. She also tells them that being compassionate towards others is a choice and urges them to think of their unique gifts with which they can make a difference in an individual’s life and their communities.
Kids learn South Asian poetic recitation style, and Urdu words and get quizzed on Nightingale, Firefly, Empathy, Night, Day, Dark, Sad, Home, Help, Bug, among others.

Welcome to the First-Ever Podcast on Urdu Stories for children!
Urdu stories from our childhood, narrated by Mahwash. Living abroad Mahwash realized that in the fast-paced life of a modern expat family, children lose touch with their Pakistani heritage, language, and experiences. Through the retelling of these stories, she brings to life our childhood experiences, building curiosity and imagination in our children, giving new life to the famous characters of yore. Mahwash aims to revive the art and medium of Urdu story narration and lessons learned all the while preserving our language and culture.

It’s the kahanis of our nani and dadi, retold for our children again!
