Toothbrush Stretch – Morning of Metaphors Edition
While brushing your teeth, stand where poetry once slept:
Windowlight Reach (10 sec) – Arms open like morning light on old stone Inkstep Sway (10 sec) – Soft body sways like Ghalib’s walking verse Courtyard Fold (10 sec) – Forward bend as if to pick up a lost thought Breath Between Lines (10 sec) – Inhale memory, exhale metaphor Mantra (Multilingual): Urdu: “یہ خاموشی غالب کا مصرع ہے” – This silence is a verse by Ghalib Hindi: “यह हवेली अभी भी सोचती है” – This haveli still thinks Persian: “خاموشی، شاعر کی آخری غزل ہے” – Silence is the poet’s final ghazal Bengali: “এই ভোরে কবিতার ছায়া পড়ে” – At this hour, poetry casts a shadow Tamil: “இங்கு காலையிலும் கவிதை இருக்கிறது” – Even the morning holds a poem English: “Even dust remembers rhyme here.”
Languages Still Breathing in the Haveli
Urdu / Persian – in the etched verses and frames Hindi / English – in guide whispers and notebooks of visitors Bengali / Tamil – in those who visit silently The walls murmur in rhyme, even when you don’t listen
This is where poetry wakes before the sun.
[30 sec] What Is Ghalib ki Haveli in the Morning?
Nestled in Ballimaran’s narrow embrace:
The 19th-century haveli of Mirza Ghalib, poet of pain and paradox Museum of handwritten couplets, old calligraphy, and broken quills A place where sunlight walks in slowly, as if not to disturb verses still sleeping In the morning, you can hear the ink thinking
This is not a museum—it’s a resting breath of poetry.
[30 sec] How to Visit and Feel It
Arrive before 10am (best: 8–9am) Take Chawri Bazar Metro, then walk via Ballimaran No ticket needed, no noise welcome Let your shoes pause, your breath notice
Ask a local with care:
“غالب کی حویلی صبح میں کیسی لگتی ہے؟” – What does Ghalib’s Haveli feel like in the morning?
[30 sec] What to Bring Back from the Haveli
Not souvenirs—but metaphors Not photos—but pauses One visitor once wrote: “यहाँ धूप भी शायरी से डरती है” – Even sunlight hesitates like a shy verse.
Original Theme Song: “The Pause Between Couplets”
(Muted harmonium, paper rustle, faint sparrow call)
Verse 1
Brush and hush, the room is still,
Ghalib sleeps in verse and will.
Sunlight brushes dusty glass,
Morning rhymes begin to pass.
Chorus
Stretch where metaphors still wait,
Toothbrush prayer behind the gate.
Even silence pens a line,
This haveli edits time.
Verse 2
Old quill rests, the wall reads slow,
Poetry hums in undertow.
“یہ خاموشی غالب کا مصرع ہے”, they say—
And breath rewrites what hearts can’t say.
