The word Qasida, originates from the depths of the melodious Arabic language, roughly translating to mean an elegiac or appreciative poem, more commonly- "a ballad crafted to express praise & quot;. The founders of Qasida- the Poetry Society of Shyam Lal College (M), way back in 2015, had a dream to write ; to the art of poetry itself. Thus started this beautiful journey of rhymes and rhythms, storytelling, ghazals, and a plethora of subsections involving a play of words lying under the oceanic vastness that is the art of poetry. In every nook and corner of educational institutions, there are heads who are always putting words together like a jigsaw puzzle, yearning to find what makes the most beautiful picture; Qasida spreads her arms for such minds scattered within the walls of Shyam Lal College (M). She embraces these minds with a warm heart, and gives them the strength and willingness to come together, amalgamate, and grow while sharing the joys of poetry. Over the years, these minds that come together to hold Qasida on their shoulders, have organised successful events; an annual event entitled Mehil-e-Qasida has featured some established and heightening names in Urdu and Hindi poetry almost every year, poetry contests featuring contestants from all the languages are held in a regular fashion to encourage the spirit of young poetic minds and encourage them further; and of course, weekly gatherings titled Ehsas-e-Qasida; to share with and learn from one another. Since her inception, Qasida has thrived and hopes to cherish and harbour young poets as long as the foreseeable future.
