i had been contemplating starting this blog for a long time. lekin shayad fursat nahin mili. I am an admirer of the poetry of Meer Taqi Meer and always had a feeling that the Urdu poets of India, not only of Delhi, but of India at large have not been understood and appreciated by the rest of the world in the manner that they should have been. If this had been the case Allama Iqbal would certainly have deserved a Nobel prize for literature. This is a humble attempt to open a space for all those who identify with the poet of the sher:
Yun pukaren hain hamen kucha e janan wale
idhar aa be, abe O!!, Chak gariban wale!!
Meer, Ghalib, Daagh Dehlavi, Iqbal, Shuja Khawar, Ahmed Faraz, Irfan Siddiqui...these are some of the names that figure on my blog...if its a piece of good poetry in urdu...you would certainly find it here...sooner or later.
