Title

Urdu Poetry Archive - Ghazals, nazms, Urdu poetry related articles, mailing lists, and more!

Description

An endeavour of this magnitude would not have been made possible without help from a lot of people. This site would be incomplete without an acknowledgement of the support and encouragement that I have received from various sources since I started this work.

This web site is a labour of love for me. The original reason behind the creation of this website was my frustration when I tried to find a good site dedicated to ghazals and nazms. Most web sites had the same poets listed in them, usually with the same ghazals and nazms. I decided to share what little I knew with others. 30th September, 1997 was the date this web site made its hesitant debut on the World Wide Web.

It started off as Nitas's Urdu Poetry Page and was hosted on Geocities. It has come a long way since then. Somewhere along the way, the emphasis shifted from just sharing what I had (which was meagre when compared to the vast treasure trove of Urdu poetry) to creating a comprehensive archive of Urdu poetry in Romanized Urdu. With less and less people learning, understanding and enjoying Urdu and Urdu poetry, there is a very real danger of these gems being lost forever in the mists of time.
