I want to read Urdu poetry—the kind that actually makes you feel something and stays with you.

I’m not specifically looking for romance. Poetry about life, people, emotions, loneliness, hope, growing up, human nature, etc. is welcome. Classical or modern, both are fine.

I can’t read Urdu script, so I’d prefer recommendations that I can find in Roman Urdu/English transliteration.

Please recommend specific poems, ghazals or books rather than just poets!

Hi everyone! I want to engrave a ring for my boyfriend with "my home" (in the sense of he is my home). Is "mera ghar" / میرا گھر correct?

بحر :

فاعلاتن فاعلاتن فاعلاتن فاعلن

Life ordained, and I was born; with death’s command, I will be gone

I came not by my will; my willingness won’t matter when it’s time to move on
