Event Description : Urdu Academy presents Ek Shaam Shaayari Ke Naam - an evening of Urdu Poetry. 
Urdu poetry is a rich tradition of poetry and has many different forms which basically originated from Arabic and borrowing much from the Persian language, is today an important part of the cultures of Pakistan and India. Like other languages, the history of Urdu poetry shares origins and influences with other linguistic traditions within the Urdu-Hindi-Hindustani mix. Literary figures as far back as Amir Khusro and Kabir inspired later Urdu poets, and served as intellectual and linguistic sources. Meer, Dard, Ghalib, Anis, Dabeer, Iqbal, Zauq, Josh, Jigar, Faiz, Firaq and Faraz are among the greatest poets of Urdu. The tradition is centered in South Asia.
