Wardah Noor from <a href=\"https:\/\/khudkaar.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Khudkaar<\/a> hosted the session in collaboration with <a href=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/\">Daastan<\/a>. The session is available in Saraiki to make it approachable for the people of Layyah. Moreover Wardah introduced the speakers with the concept of Layyah 2.0 and they seemed excited. So, let\u2019s hear from the art progeny <em>Zeeshan Manzoor<\/em> and <em>Sultan Manzoor<\/em> about their artistic journeys.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Artists from South Punjab<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The beautiful land of Punjab births miracles. Infact, South Punjab is home to some of Pakistan\u2019s greatest artists. However, the potential of so many people in Layyah remains untapped. Therefore, <strong>Layyah 2.0<\/strong> is here to give voice to the hidden gems of South Punjab. Our Lit\u2019Talks series is a small part of this initiative. It aims to bring the stories of Layyans to the world!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remembering Munshi Manzoor\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>\u201cMere watan ye aqeedaten\u201d<\/em> is a national song that rings in the ears of every Pakistani. But do you know who wrote it? I guess not. <em>Munshi Manzoor Sahab<\/em>, the pride of our nation wrote this song. Late Munshi Manzoor was a poet from Layyah who spent his life in the pursuit of poetry. Undoubtedly, his art is a source of pride for the whole nation. Fortunately, Manzoor\u2019s legacy didn\u2019t end with him. He is the father of Layyah\u2019s upcoming artists Zeeshan and Sultan Manzoor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6762\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6762\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/C1F14EA8-DE9C-4143-9DEA-15FF914DA8DB.jpeg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6762\" src=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/C1F14EA8-DE9C-4143-9DEA-15FF914DA8DB.jpeg\" alt=\"Artists\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/C1F14EA8-DE9C-4143-9DEA-15FF914DA8DB.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/C1F14EA8-DE9C-4143-9DEA-15FF914DA8DB-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/C1F14EA8-DE9C-4143-9DEA-15FF914DA8DB-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/C1F14EA8-DE9C-4143-9DEA-15FF914DA8DB-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/C1F14EA8-DE9C-4143-9DEA-15FF914DA8DB-696x696.jpeg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6762\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Zeeshan remembering Munshi Manzoor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zeeshan\u2019s Poetic Journey\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBaba always used to say that I would become a poet. After his death, I couldn\u2019t let his name die. Hence, my inner poet awakened,\u201d says Zeeshan.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zeeshan candidly and passionately talks about his journey as a poet. To him, poetry is another name for <em>self-exploration<\/em>. A tragedy sets in motion one\u2019s artistic journey. Sometimes the muse is an <em>estranged lover<\/em>. And sometimes it\u2019s a loved one gone too soon. In Zeeshan\u2019s life, his father\u2019s death prompted the birth of his inner poet. Zeeshan Manzoor is multitalented. He not only writes poems but has also written a beautiful love song. Our host, Wardah Noor also inquired Zeeshan about his song:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cSomethings in life are predestined. My song is one of those things. I always wanted to write a song. However, Akhiyaan was conceived in a very short amount of time on a request of a contemporary.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Every poet looks up-to certain people. In Zeeshan\u2019s case, his father Munshi Manzoor is his\u00a0 inspiration. Apart from Munshi Manzoor, Zeeshan admires <em>Allama Iqbal,<\/em> <em>Tehzeeb Hafi<\/em> and <em>Ata Ullah Khan.<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6763\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6763\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/B4196787-6412-4E18-8206-C738167E97B9.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6763\" src=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/B4196787-6412-4E18-8206-C738167E97B9.jpeg\" alt=\"Artists\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/B4196787-6412-4E18-8206-C738167E97B9.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/B4196787-6412-4E18-8206-C738167E97B9-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/B4196787-6412-4E18-8206-C738167E97B9-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/B4196787-6412-4E18-8206-C738167E97B9-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/B4196787-6412-4E18-8206-C738167E97B9-696x696.jpeg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6763\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Zeeshan on Poetry<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For all the Saraiki fans, here are some beautiful words from Zeeshan,<\/p>\n<p><strong><i>\u201cAsaan zamaanay tu haare lok aen,\u00a0<\/i><i>Asaan mohabbat tu maare lok aen.\u201d \u00a0<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cWe are the people defeated by world,\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>We are the ones bested in love\u201d\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Struggles of Artists in Layyah<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that time and time again people of South Punjab have been overlooked. Despite all their talent, they continuously have to fight even for the basic necessities of life. Layyah is no different in this case. Most of the population there lies below the poverty line. The reason for that is lack of resources. So, to expect recreational opportunities in an environment like that is next to impossible. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/wardah-noor-qureshi\/\">Wardah<\/a> asked Zeeshan about the difficulties faced by artists in Layyah. Here\u2019s what said:<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cThere are rarely any opportunities for us in Layyah. Surely, there is a talent pool, but no resources. For instance, since my birth I have witnessed only one talent hunt.\u201d\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<h2>Sultan Manzoor\u2019s Journey<\/h2>\n<p>Being blessed with a melodious voice, Sultan decided to follow into his father\u2019s footsteps. Hence, he chose arts. He recorded his first song\u00a0<i>Ankhiyaan<\/i>\u00a0in February, <strong>2020<\/strong>. Prior to the release of song, Sultan felt motivated and demotivated at times. However, after the release he received a positive feedback from people. Sultan talked to Wardah about his recording process in following words.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cThe process of composing a symphony is a difficult process. But it is not without its charms. It was challenging to perfect a melody that suited my personal style. Therefore, I took all the professional guidance I needed in order to learn.\u201d\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vision of Layyah Art Council\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In <strong>1991<\/strong>, Munshi Manzoor laid the foundations of an art council in Layyah. However, it was a distant dream at that time. Now decades later, unfortunately Layyah is still struggling to put itself on the creative map of Pakistan. To help with this problem, <a href=\"https:\/\/khudkaar.com\/\">Khudkaar<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/\">Daastan<\/a> \u00a0aim to establish an Art Council in Layyah. The first seeds of this initiative were sown by Wardah in February, 2021 on the inauguration of KhudKaar House.
