BKK #44: Through this profound self-reflection of a bird in captivity and his longing for freedom, Iqbal makes us realize the importance of freedom.
Mahwash asks the kids to take some time to reflect on Iqbal’s message of valuing independence and freedom and that one should never trade it for anything.
Kids learn South Asian poetic recitation style, and Urdu words and get quizzed on Birds, To Plea, To Remember, Garden, Chirping, Freedom, Bird’s Nest, Friends, Spring, Flowers & Buds, among others.

Welcome to the First-Ever Educational 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!
