Ok ehsan uncle some of my questions.

(1) Sab se pehle aap ne kis poet ko paRha?

(2) Kal ke poets aur aaj ke poets main kia farq hai?

(3) Hamare haan poetry main mard poet kiyun dominant hain, jab ke poetry jaisa nafees shoba khawateen ko ziada suit karta hai?

(4) Aap ko kis tarah ki shayari ziada appeal karti thi / hai? kia waqt ke sath iss main koi change aaya?

1. Cant remember exactly but I think it was Iqbal
2. The poets in my time were more nationalistic, leftist and secular than they are now. Maybe because we were a very young nation at the time and everyone was focused on the nation. People like Habib Jalib, Josh Maliahabadi and Faiz etc. Today the nation is in its worse position yet we dont see many poets writing about it.
3. Dont know many of the leading poets have been male, maybe it has to do something with our culture where in earlier days women didnt have much role outside the house. Still many female poets are around today and the best one of them Parveen shakir is as good as any of them.
4. Shayri woh joh dil koh chu jaye, mozoo koi bhi ho, shayree mein gehrayee honee chahiye, phir maza aata hai.
