Shayari - Render verse over a cup of coffee

If love is the essence of life, subtle expression of your feelings for your beloved through some beautifully crafted verse is no less either. Verse has that magical power of cosying upto the most bottled up of emotions within us. They often catch us unaware and off guard, anywhere, any time.

Shayari or Sher Shayri is the most exquisite form of Urdu verse. The language Urdu, that is a mix of Persian and Arabic, lends itself beautifully to Sher Shayri. Sher shayri has generally been a bit of an elite thing not really acceptable to the masses but with the advent of internet, shayari has been democratised, pretty much like a lot of other things. The appreciation of shayari has now moved to the domain of lay people.

There are many websites through which you can get introduced to the genre of sher shayri, get to read some great shayari and also discuss with other like minded people things about ghazals, shayari and the like.
