Pakistani poetry

Pakistan has a rich and diverse tradition of poetry. This tradition partakes of Urdu poetry, Pakistan's national language and the regional languages of Pakistan including Sindhi poetry, Pashto poetry, Punjabi poetry, Seraiki poetry, Baluchi Poetry, and Kashmiri poetry. Sufi poetry known as Sufiana Kalam has a strong tradition in Pakistan and the poetry of popular Sufi poets is often recited and sung.

Persian poetry, is still common in Pakistan because of the centuries of Persian influence on the region. Many sufi poets wrote their Kalam in Persian. Pakistan's national poet Allama Mohammad Iqbal also wrote many volumes of poetry in Persian.

Poetry is widely read across Pakistan. Gatherings for thr recitations of poetry known as Mushaira frequently take place. Verses of popular poets are also used as political slogans by political activists.

What is Poetry:

Poetry is a lot of things to a lot of people. Homer's epic,The Oddysey, described the wanderings of the adventurer.Urdu poetry is like a vast ocean. Walking along its shores on the sands of time, I have gathered a few gems that I would like to share with you.

kaise kaise haadase sahate rahe
ham yuu.N hii jiite rahe ha.Nsate rahe

us ke aa jaane kii ummiide.n liye
raastaa mu.D mu.D ke ham takate rahe

vaqt to guzaraa magar kuchh is tarah
ham charaaGo.n kii tarah jalate rahe

kitane chehare the hamaare aas-paas
tum hii tum dil me.n magar basate rahe


Dikhta Hai Zindagi Ka Rang !!!

Main le Chala Hun Tumhain
Zindagi Ke Rangon Main
Bahar Ke Moasam Main
Dil Kashi Ke Naghmon Main
Junoon Karta Hai
Humain Salam Raston Main
Payam Deti Hain
Khushyan Humari Chokhat Pe
Rang Khilta Hai
Jo Bhi Humarey Chahron Pe
Humain Bata Ta Hai
Mili Hai Zindagi Humain.......
