(Free Press Release) London - There is something rare and delicate in the form of poetry. In a mechanical and competitive world, works of art like poetry provide people with inspiration, thought and a respite from the sorrows of the world. Urdu poetry has often led the world in its insight into the human condition and the delicate weaving of words with thought. Poets like Allama Iqbal and Ghalib have become names of respect across the globe and known for their works. But, in a growing world of English speaking residents, the delicate art of Urdu poetry seems to be fading. UrduArt.com seeks to revive and propagate this art form on the internet. The forum invites writers across the world to upload their poems and works of art in Urdu and helps them find readers on the internet.
Urdu poetry requires knowledge of both words and thought. The art of the shayair had been a popular form of literature in the early era of Mughals. From the Persian courts to the modern world, these literary works have constantly connected to people and their emotions. The poems and their ability to convey more meaning in the least words are the key feature of these shayairs. The frenetic pace of the modern world has seen a decline in these works of art. It is this factor which the UrduArt.com seeks to alleviate. The forum invites people to share their interests in Urdu poetry, their own works and those of other poets online. This also acts as a platform for people with similar interests in Urdu literature to meet online and share intellectual discussions on the topic.
