Any Iranian ladies around? I would like to start a group for Iranians in Qatar. Anyone interested?

Hello Behnaz, I am not a lady, but I am Iranian and I am new to Qatar. I would like to join some sort of community or social gathering to get to know the place better and interact with the Iranians (and Non-Iranians in the country).

P.S. my moms a poet and she has published a few books and she organizes poetry nights in Dubai if that makes any difference :))

I'm not Iranian. I'm very passionate about Urdu literature which is deeply rooted and profoundly influenced by Farsi. For that reason, I love Farsi language. If you ever form such group, I would like to be part of it, if possible.

Here is a ghazal of Hafiz Sheerazi that I lately posted on my literary forum (I run an exclusive literary English & Urdu online Forum).

در خراباتِ مُغاں نورِ خدا می بینَم

ویں عجب بیں کہ چہ نُورے ز کجا می بینَم

کیست دُردی کشِ ایں میکدہ یا رب، کہ دَرَش

قبلۂ حاجت و محرابِ دعا می بینَم

جلوہ بر من مَفَروش اے مَلِکُ الحاج کہ تو

خانہ می بینی و من خانہ خدا می بینَم

سوزِ دل، اشکِ رواں، آہِ سحر، نالۂ شب

ایں ہمہ از اثَرِ لطفِ شُما می بینَم

خواہم از زلفِ بتاں نافہ کشائی کردَن

فکرِ دُورست، ہمانا کہ خطا می بینَم

ہر دم از روئے تو نقشے زَنَدَم راہِ خیال

با کہ گویم کہ دریں پردہ چہا می بینَم

کس ندیدست ز مشکِ خُتَن و نافۂ چیں

آنچہ من ہر سحر از بادِ صبا می بینَم

نیست در دائرہ یک نقطہ خلاف از کم و بیش

کہ من ایں مسئلہ بے چون و چرا می بینَم

منصبِ عاشقی و رندی و شاہد بازی

ہمہ از تربیتِ لطفِ شُما می بینَم

دوستاں، عیبِ نظر بازیِ حافظ مَکُنید

کہ من او را، ز مُحبّانِ خدا می بینَم
