All Urdu Poets

Hamari koshish hai ke Urdu adab ke un nayab motiyon ko ek jagah jama kiya jaye jo waqt ki dhool mein kahin kho gaye hain.

Klasiki shua’ra se le kar jadeed dor ke taro-taza lehjon tak—yahan aap ko milega har us shair ka kalam aur un ki zindagi ke

mukammal ahwaal, jo aap ke dil ko choo leinge.
