Poetry is a beautiful writing art almost in every language
and dialect in the whole world. People like reading and writing poetry as a
hobby and they like to express their feelings and words using a piece of
poetry. Many Writers for almost all languages use short couplets or verses to
express a situation or to resemble any identical circumstances that are the
couplets or verses about.
Urdu Language has also a great treasure of Urdu Poetry by
the legend poets passed in the history. Some of them can be mentioned here as
Ahmed Faraz, Nasir Kazmi, Mir Taqi Mir, Mirza Ghalib, Faiz Ahmed Faiz and
Allama Iqbal. Urdu Literature is a regular course included in academic process
from elementary to Masters level and many of our poets have left behind such a
worthy heritage of Letters, Literature, Novels and Urdu Poetry in various
forms. When recalled secondary education days, some memories retrieve lessons
in our Urdu Text books about Musaddas of Hali, letters and some selected urdu
poems by some of these legends.
Urdu Poetry is nowadays, not only studied in Pakistan and India but also in other regions
across the globe. The immigrants from Pakistan
and India
are doing well job in creating awareness of Urdu Language and so Urdu Poetry.
Urdu Poetry Contests (Mushaira) are often held by Urdu Foundations and
communities in many countries of the world, in which famous poets of the time,
from Indo-Pak participate very well.
The literature and scope of Poetry in Urdu has grown over
the time and it has formed branches in self of it. Poets adopt the type they
are best in and populate their poetry collection. Some of Poetry styles include
Sad, Funny, Free Verse, Sonnets, Ghazal, Acrostic, Song, Ode etc. I am also a
reader of urdu poetry and like sad poetry in urdu because of the marvelous collection of sad poetry by Faraz and
especially Ghalib. Its very appealing to urdu readers.
