ہدف شاعری / Purpose of Poetry

My dear ones, poets are an investment for the country. Poets are among the dearest and most valuable investments for every country. Of course, all artists are a source of investment, but poets and poetry have certain characteristics among all these various kinds of art that make the value of poets increase in society. They are an investment and provision. Well, this investment should be employed by the country in sensitive times. This is a very clear and obvious point: When the country needs help in the area of cultural, political and social matters, in the area of popular relationships and social bonds and in the area of confronting foreign enemies, this saving should come in handy like the savings that we have in the National Development Fund – which is a place for saving our oil revenues so that they come in handy somewhere and someday. So, if we compose poems that do not have any position on the current issues of the country, such poems will not fulfill the needs of the country. Poems should have positions.

کوفہ کی بعض خواتین بھی صفین میں موجود تھیں جو شعر کہتی تھیں جن میں وہ امیرالمؤمنینؑ کی مدح کرتی تھیں اور آپؑ کے فضائل بیان کرتی تھیں اور خلیفۃ المسلمین کی سپاہ کو باغی فوج کے خلاف جنگ کی ترغیب دلاتی تھیں۔ سورہ بنت عمارہ ہمدانی اور ام سنان،[13] زرقاء بن تعدی ہمدانی،[14] ام الخیر اور جروہ بنت
مرہ بن غالب تمیمی ان ہی خواتین میں شامل تھیں۔[15]
