It draws upon centuries old culture, language, forms, and cliches of Persia and Arabian peninsula along with the great sub-continent the home to 1.25 billion people. Those of you who are wondering as to what attracted Obama so much in Urdu poetry, take heart. There are fine English Translations available to enjoy. Above all, American Urdu literary scene is wide and interesting. One such great American Urdu (and a modern Sufi) poet has been Saiyid Mohammad Hanif Akhgar Maleehabadi. He was a legend of American Poetry. Why not pay a visit to his works cited in the above link, and see for yourself this amazing poet's works. American can be proud of such literary treasures and cultural diversity in its folds.
