Arts and literature have always held a prominent place in defining who we are as human beings. This is all the more apparent during moments of crisis like current Covid-19 pandemic. Prompted by the outbreak of COVID-19, Rekhta has been campaigning and arguing for life in the way we best do: through poetry.

Urdu Poetry has always stood for the tenacity of life against the cruelty of death. It became one of our companions during these tough times, who consoled us - taught us and offered us solace. As this year comes to its conclusion, we present before you an array of our top-performing content in 2020:
