The Tale of a Stranger Instrument
The Tale of a Stranger Instrument Yes! Who am I? I am the one who once played in the courts of kings; trembled in the hands of scholars; resounded in the ghazals of poets, and was a companion in the solitude of lovers. I was the instrument of tears and joys, the solace of lonely nights, and the fellow traveler of hopeful days. They held me close, let the fingers of love glide across my strings, and poured their deepest secrets into my soul.

The Exile of an Instrument: Musical Representation
The Exile of an Instrument: Musical Representation Abstract The Rubab, the ancient instrument of Afghanistan, is not merely a musical tool; it is the voice of a nation, a repository of collective memory, and a storyteller of the sufferings and hopes shaped throughout the history of this land. Today, amid waves of migration and exile, the Rubab wanders alongside its owners across distant lands. Every sound that emanates from its strings narrates a tale of longing and exile, yet simultaneously conveys a message of hope and cultural resilience. This paper is a journey into the world of the Rubab: an instrument that continues to play in exile, revealing silent wounds.
