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.

Kia shadi ke baad ghamgeen poetry parhna aur sunena acha lagta hai?

Have you ever tried to write something?
