Abstract
A haiku is an unrhymed Japanese poetic form that consists of
17 syllables arranged in three lines containing five, seven and
five syllables, respectively. A haiku expresses much and
suggests more in the Fewest possible words. The form gained
distinction in the 17th century, when Basho, a Japanese poet
considered the greatest practitioner of the form, elevated it to
a highly refined art. It remains Japan's most popular poetic
form. The imagist poets (1912-30) and others have imitated
the form in English and other languages. Many Haiku writers
like AitbaarSajid, Dil Nawaz Dil, Muhammad Ameen and
Saifi have earned fame in this genre and contributed in its
expansion. Akhter Hushiarpuri is one of the remarkable names
of this sequence. He developed a new and different style of
Haiku by writing "Barg e Gul"and "Sarsun k Phool."
