LAFZ Magazine and ISRA Books bring the Hussain Brothers to Britain for a short tour of Iqbal's poetry in the Qawwali tradition. The Birmingham evening is held in association with Iqbal Academy (U.K.), whose Chairman will introduce the programme and place the verse in the context of Iqbal's thought.
Selections are drawn from Bang-e-Dara and Bal-e-Jibril. Translations are read in English between sets, so no knowledge of Urdu or Persian is needed to follow the evening.
