شاعری تو اِک راگ ہے، اور اِک عجیب جُستجو
دِلوں کو جو مسحور کرے، ایسی ہے یہ گُفتگو
shayari tu ik raag hai, aur ik ajeeb justaju
dilon ko jo mashur kary, aisi hai ye guftagu

شٌستہ زباں، شگٌفتہ بیاں، ہونٹ گٌل فِشاں
ساری ہیں تٌجھ میں خوبیاں اٌردو زٌباں کی
shusta zuban, shagufta biyan, hont gul fishan
sari hai tujh main khubiyan urdu zuban ki

Urdu poetry, rooted in South Asian culture, covers topics ranging from love and romance to spirituality and philosophy. Its origins can be traced back to the 13th century through the works of legendary poets like Amir Khusrau and Mir Taqi Mir. Over the years, it has flourished and changed, reflecting the ethos of the times while retaining its essence.

Central to Urdu poetry is its language, a mixture of Persian, Arabic, and nearby Indian music. This allegorical combination gives Urdu a kind of melodious quality, where every syllable resonates with feeling and significance. Whether it’s the intricately wondrous arrangement of a ghazal or the hard work of a sonnet, an Urdu poem has an unparalleled ability to evoke deep emotions within its readers.
