A voice that shall remain

A body shall disappear into dust but a voice shall remain.

 Here is an audio recording of Qurratulain Hyder reading “Daalan vala” in her characteristic style. This recording was found on this site.

  1. It gives a uniquely overpowering feeling, listening to QH in her own voice! Wonderful.

  2. Voices and minds like hers are immortal; they become a part of our collective conscience.
    I too wish I could’ve read her writings in Urdu…but alas!
    I’ve put in a request at the library for a translation of ‘Aag Ka Dariya’.
