Shout out to @Rekhta for being such an amazing resource for non Urdu speakers to learn. Comprehensive dictionaries, text in English, Hindi, and Urdu, hover over translation, pronunciation guides, all above and beyond the actual poetry. Amaze.

Hot take. Not everyone has supportive family or friends. Hot take. Most people are in therapy because of trauma from their own families. Hot take. One person's privilege of having a loving family is not the solution to someone else's issues.
