This event was held under the supervision of the BSS music Society and Urdu teacher, Miss Lubaba. There were eight participants in total. Four for the poetry namely, Sania and Ayra from 9-C, and Abdul Salam and Rabia from 11-C. Each of whom sang quite delightfully indeed. Meanwhile, the rest of the four participants delivered the English translation namely; Aina from 11-C, and Sehla, Ayan, and Azka from 11-D. Without the translations, the event would have been incomplete as they surely did help the audience understand the poetries and the importance they hold. Pulling the entire event together as a centerpiece, was Fatima Zehra from 11-C; who played a very crucial role as a host. The background music was played by Sir Waqar.

This glamourous event was just one of many, giving the spotlight to many talented and proficient students; and it was a great success due to Students’ appreciable efforts. This particular occasion is also significant to many other Urdu teachers who attended it as it represented one of the most popular literature, rich with culture and religion. Utterly beautiful. Would u, dear reader, await many more events such as this one; which are educational as well as enjoyable.
