Modern love and shayari
I think young people still connect with Urdu shayari, but maybe in a slightly different way than older generations did. For our grandparents, it was part of everyday life—songs, letters, even conversations carried that poetic tone. Today, it feels more like a cultural treasure that people rediscover when they want something more meaningful than casual texts or Instagram captions. Old Bollywood movies and ghazals definitely keep the nostalgia alive, but I’ve seen plenty of young people still sharing shayari online. It almost feels like a bridge between past and present—something timeless about expressing love in Urdu. The article https://1shayari.in/love-shayari-why-romance-feels-deeper-in-urdu/ Love Shayari: Why Romance Feels Deeper in Urdu talks about why shayari still resonates, even in modern times, and how it adds a deeper flavor to romance. I’d say it hasn’t lost relevance, it just adapts with each generation.
I think it depends on the person. Some younger people still enjoy shayari, while others probably see it as old-fashioned.
