'Chashma' Flowed from the Heart’s Deepest Place | The Quint

Chashma means spring, a quiet source, flowing from places unseen. It is the beginning before the river, the hush before the song. In Urdu poetry, chashma symbolizes purity, emotion, and the quiet emergence of feeling. It is where stillness gives way to motion, where the heart overflows not with noise, but with meaning. A chashma doesn’t arrive with thunder—it trickles, seeps, and then stays. It is a metaphor for resilience, for healing, for the things that rise softly but change everything they touch.

In this episode of Urdunama, we follow the flow of chashma through the words of poets who’ve found renewal in nature, stillness in emotion, and poetry in every drop.

From exposing misinformation to delivering impactful human rights reporting, our newsroom has relentlessly pursued stories that drive change. We remain committed to asking the tough questions — and we'd love for you to be a part of our journey.
