Poetry
Poetry is a form of expression that Urdu speakers like the most. It is not easy for people with English to absorb this fact as their mother tongue because our own culture has a very different attitude towards poetry. Most English speakers know a little bit of poetry because they were introduced to it in school, but only a minority read it regularly for pleasure after finishing formal education. Many people think that this activity of poetry is limited to a certain elite instead of working beyond the likes or loves of the common people. To find an example of an English verse that is part of everyone's culture, regardless of class or level of education, you will be directed to songs from formal events such as nursery rhymes or Old Lang Sign.
Urdu poetry thrives in a completely different context. There is nothing elite about the taste for poetry, and there is a universal awareness that it adds value to one's life. Millions of Urdu speakers in India and Pakistan cannot read but they know poetry in other ways. Ever since he was a child, he would have heard fragments quoting his elders. The verses of famous poets have been painted around the buses. In this village where there is less reading, there may be one person who can recite long sections of classical narrative poetry, and others will gather to listen. Thousands of people in towns and cities attend events where poetry is recited or sung. Everyone is familiar with the traditional depiction of Urdu poetry, as many of the popular radio gestures contain words derived from classical poetry.
dard poetry in urdu sms |
درد ہے دل میں پر اس کا احساس نہیں ہوتا
روتا ہے دل جب وہ پاس نہیں ہوتا
برباد ہوگئے ہم اُن کی محبت میں
اور وہ کہتے ہے کہ اس طرح پیار نہیں ہوتا
There is pain in the heart but it is not felt
The heart cries when it does not pass
We are ruined in His love
And they say that love is not like that
दिल में दर्द होता है लेकिन महसूस नहीं होता
जब पास नहीं होता तो दिल रोता है
हम उसके प्यार में बर्बाद हो गए हैं
और वे कहते हैं कि प्रेम ऐसा नहीं है
