Zer Zabar Paesh is a platform for the study of Urdu poetic tradition by Faraz Ali. It aims to make this tradition accessible to people with a genuine interest in classical and contemporary Urdu verse and its vast apparatus—including approaches to deep reading, poetics, canon and history, criticism and scholarship, etc.

It is an attempt to bring “the tāq-i nisyān” طاقِ نِسْیاں (niche of forgetfulness) into relief and cultivate the faculty of imagination تخيّل(takhayyul).

This episode explains the five aspects of the project.

- Muntakhab vasāʾil

- Zer-i ghawr

- Farogh-i zawq

- ʿUlamāʾ-yi adab

- Lutf-i ishārāt
