Writing Prompts

Welcome to 2025!

The RXC banner has got a new look going by the majority vote.

I hope you all had a great time with family and friends and are now settling into regular routines.

PROMPT #361

I start the year with a translated couplet of Mirza Ghalib.

Original couplet

 naqsh faryaadii hai kis kii shoKHii-i tahriir kaa
kaaGhazii hai pairahan har paikar-e tasviir kaa

Translation by Anisur Rehman

Whose crafty creation am I; the image implores –
Every image stands enrobed – but in paper robes

You can read more about it here.

The second line enraptures me.

“Every image stands enrobed – but in paper robes

Use the letter or spirit of the line in your piece. It would be great if you could capture what is unsaid in these lines.

You are most welcome to create an AI image or sketch something related to the theme.

The format of the piece is not restricted, and there is no last date either unless you wish to be featured in the Weekly Wrap. 

We will not include any post that is found to be offensive, vulgar or hurts ordinary sensibilities. This needs to be a safe space.

Create a post on your blog and copy-paste the link in the Comments. If you use a pingback, check to see if it has worked.
