Pakistan has a rich and diverse tradition of poetry. This tradition partakes of Urdu poetry, Pakistan&#39;s national language and the regional languages of Pakistan including Sindhi poetry, Pashto poetry, Punjabi poetry, Saraiki poetry, Baluchi Poetry, and Kashmiri poetry. Sufi poetry known as Sufiana Kalam has a strong tradition in Pakistan and the poetry of popular Sufi poets is often recited and sung.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Persian poetry, is still common in Pakistan because of the centuries of Persian influence on the region. Many sufi poets wrote their Kalam in Persian. Pakistan&#39;s national poet Allama Mohammad Iqbal also wrote many volumes of poetry in Persian.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poetry is widely read across Pakistan. Gatherings for thr recitations of poetry known as Mushaira frequently take place. Verses of popular poets are also used as political slogans by political activists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Allama Mohammad Iqbal - The National Poet of Pakistan&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muhammad Iqbal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Urdu Poetry&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abbas Tabish&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmad Faraz&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amjad Islam Amjad&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ayyub Sabir&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baqi Siddiqui&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Faiz Ahmed Faiz&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Farigh Bukhari&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmed Faraz&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parveen Shakir&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fehmida Riaz&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Habib Jalib&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iftikhar Arif&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iftikhar Jalib&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jamil Malik&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John Elia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Josh Malihabadi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hafeez Jullundhri&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kishwar Naheed&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Majeed Amjad&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mehmood Sham&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mohsin Ihsan&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mohsin Naqvi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Munir Niazi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nasim-e-Sahar&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nasir Kazmi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nusrat Zaidi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qateel Shifai&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Raza Hamadani&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Riaz Majeed&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sajjad Babar&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shakeb Jalali&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shaukat Wasti&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shehzad Ahmad&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shujaat Ali Rahi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Syed Ishtiaq Hussain KAZMI &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ishqojanoon.blogspot.com/feeds/8174003030321222601/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ishqojanoon.blogspot.com/2010/03/pakistani-poetry.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6353151538226110484/posts/default/8174003030321222601'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6353151538226110484/posts/default/8174003030321222601'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ishqojanoon.blogspot.com/2010/03/pakistani-poetry.html' title='Ishq-o-Janoon'/><author><name>Minhas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06995815755203114050</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHie2TBeiIOKZqYzCRNaNixxwG-TkTQ2dedlcFwuDZYq_UFQO89GlUR1q1BbJMuUQe37OHWYAyTTH0_FOrGWPuBQ6OEsyzkdsndOGFTWmZ0ns5Do9oCvIOy9ZQcOFSPIfYpylmWsjK1uo1/s72-c/800px-Flag_of_Pakistan_svg.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
