What is Shayari?
Shayari is a form of Urdu poetry that allows the poet to convey deep feelings and thoughts through a few carefully chosen words.

Traditionally, the voice of Shayari is held aloud, usually at a gathering called “Mushaira”, where poets share their work and share it with their audience.
Historical Roots of Shayari
Shayari has a rich history dating back to the 13th century. It emerged from Persian and Arabic literary traditions and, over time, was influenced by Indian culture, especially in the courts of the Mughal emperors. Poets like Mirza Ghalib, Allama Iqbal, and Faiz Ahmad Faiz played an important role in the development of Shayari and became an integral part of South Asian culture.
The classical form of shayari is closely related to the Ghazal, a poetic form composed of rhyming couplets and refrains, each line being characterized by a particular meter. These couplets, known as “Sher,” are designed to convey a common thought and feeling, but when connected together create a broader meaning or thematic structure.
Types of Shayari
Shayari comes in a variety of forms, each with its own unique structure and focus on topics. Understanding these patterns can enhance the appreciation of this art form.
Ghazal: But the poetry of Shayari and the poetry of the poems (Sher) are different from those of the poets. the words of the prophet are different from the words of the prophet.

Nazm: A Nazm is a form of Shayari and follows the rules of rhyme and meter found in Ghazals. It is a poem that usually tells a story and explores a specific theme in detail.
