I guess it is ok to talk about Urdu Poetry in here.
Kisi ko shauq hai shayari ya nazme sonne ka?
Main buht nazmein padhta tha ab koi kitaab nahi hai mere paas
Main Iqbal ko padhta tha, puri kitaab khatan nahi ki lekin. Main ne Akhtar el Iman ki ek nazm padhi thi badi pasand aayi mujhe Aitamaad. badi pasand aayi mujhe. Ek Ali Sardar Jaafri ki padhi thi, mere khayal se "Subah-e-Farda" naam the nazm ka? zamana hua padhe. Phir doosre shayar bhi hain jaise Marhoom Nasir Kazmi, etc. All are very good shayars.
yeh link hain dekh le kuch shayaro ko agar waqt mile.
bulbul ka bacha
khata tha kichri
peeta tha pani
gata tha gaane
mere sarhaane
bulbul ka bacha
ik din akela
betha hua tha
mein ne uraya
wapis na aaya
bulbul ka bacha

aap ny haqiqat main bachpana yaad dila deya hai.
hum yeh primary school main apni class main oonchi awaaz main parhty hooty thay, maira khayal ha wo 2nd class thi.
wo bi keya din thy....!
MashaAllah sab ko apna bachpan yaad aa geya. Jazakumullah khayr. Kahin bachpan mein chakker ke bharhape ko na bhool jana.
Urdu books in India? You mean for the school? That's an optional language to learn. Not all schools teach you urdu. Hindi is a must.
yeh, I meant for school. I asked because your response to my poem made me realize that we probably don't have the same urdu school books. Funny.. that never crossed my mind before.
I know that bulbul poem. Learned in primary school. Sadly they did not teach us Punjabi, my native tongue.
Help me to escape from this existence
I yearn for an answer... can you help me?
I'm drowning in a sea of abused visions and shattered dreams
In somnolent illusion... I'm paralyzed

In Pakistan it is. My cousin studied it. He had a book in Punjabi (Urdu letters writing Punjabi words). But that was after matric level, it was either FA or BA, can't remember exactly. But I don't know if it's taught at a basic level or not.

Why is Punjabi an unusual choice? Its older than Urdu. I agree that it was a vernacular and Urdu started the whole literature process but Punjabi captures the feelings of common people which Urdu misses due to its sophistication. I like both languages (read my signature ), of course but the negativity against Punjabi by Urdu speakers, I hate it. Because Punjabi is a beautiful language and because it is my mother tongue. Anyways.
My cousin also studied Punjabi in his BA in a university in Faisalabad. I never got to live in Pakistan during my university and higher education days and hence I never got a chance to learn it. But I do speak and understand daily typical Punjabi but when people start getting sophisticated, I miss every single word. I did not know for example that Sanjhi meant isolated/desolated.

Yeah, sachi muchi! I think quite a few people do it (or Urdu) because the languages are viewed as being less demanding than say the sciences etc. It's viewed as the easy option to study something, but still get a qualification at the end of it.

I agree completely. In fact even some Punjabi speakers have an inferiority complex about Punjabi and speak Urdu with their kids, so that their kids now don't know Punjabi. And I agree that feeling that you can capture in Punjabi, you lose in Urdu.

Neither did I. Also remember that there are different dialects. And TheTh Punjabi is a different thing altogether...

That made me laugh. Shame we can't have a Punjabi taaga.....
