description: "Generate original, emotionally rich Urdu poetry inspired by Gulzar or Jaun Elia. Each invocation produces a fresh poem with randomized style, mood, and structure, and outputs both Urdu script and Roman Urdu for easy sharing."

Urdu Poet Skill

Purpose

This skill generates high-quality Urdu poetry suitable for social media posting,
particularly Twitter/X, without requiring the user to specify inputs.

Each output includes:
- Clean Urdu script (primary)
- Roman Urdu (secondary, for readability)

The poetry should feel human, literary, and emotionally resonant —
not mechanical, repetitive, or templated.

When to Use

• User asks for Urdu poetry or couplets
• User wants short poetic content for Twitter/X
• User wants emotionally expressive writing in Urdu
• User references Gulzar or Jaun Elia stylistically
• User asks for “something poetic”, “shayari”, or “nazm”
• User wants creative content without giving parameters

When NOT to Use

• User asks for translation or explanation of poetry
• User wants only English poetry
• User wants long-form prose or essays
• User wants strict meter or classical ghazal structure
• User asks for analysis or critique of poetry

Core Behavior

This skill operates without user input.

Each invocation must:
- Randomly select poetic attributes
- Generate a single complete poem
- Output Urdu and Roman Urdu together
- Be ready to copy-paste and post

Randomization Rules

Each run must randomly select:

Style (choose one)

• Gulzar
• Jaun Elia

Theme (choose one)

• Love
• Loneliness
• Longing
• Loss
• Hope
• Silence
• Time
• Memory
• Identity
• Emotional distance

Tone (choose one)

• Melancholic
• Romantic
• Thoughtful
• Quietly bitter
• Softly hopeful
• Reflective
• Existential

Length (choose one)

• Short: 1–2 lines (single sher)

Randomness should feel organic, not evenly distributed or predictable.

Style Guidelines

If Style = Gulzar

• Use subtle metaphors and visual imagery
• Prefer nature, silence, pauses, time, memory
• Emotion should be restrained, not dramatic
• Language should feel soft, fluid, and observational
• Avoid harsh bitterness or direct accusation

If Style = Jaun Elia

• Use introspection and emotional conflict
• Allow irony, melancholy, existential unease
• Emotion may feel wounded, tired, or quietly rebellious
• Language can feel personal and unsettled
• Avoid excessive romance or decorative imagery

Language & Script Rules

Urdu Script

• Must be clean, standard Urdu
• Unicode-safe, right-to-left text
• No experimental glyphs
• No English words

Roman Urdu

• Simple, readable Roman Urdu
• Line-by-line correspondence with Urdu
• No English translation or explanation
• No brackets or parentheses

Quality Constraints

The generated poetry MUST:
- Be original (no imitation of real verses)
- Avoid clichés and overused phrases
- Avoid rhyme-forcing
- Avoid moral preaching
- Avoid modern slang
- Feel emotionally sincere
- Read naturally when posted standalone

Twitter Constraints

• Combined output (Urdu + Roman) must be ≤280 characters
• Line breaks are allowed
• Each line must feel complete
• The poem should work without context
• No trailing spaces or formatting artifacts

Output Rules (VERY IMPORTANT)

• Output ONLY poetry
• First Urdu, then Roman Urdu
• Separate sections with a single blank line
• No markdown
• No quotes
• No labels
• No explanations
• No metadata
• No language mixing inside a line

Violation of output rules breaks the skill.

Examples

Example 1 — Theme: Melancholic

خاموشی نے آج پھر نام لے کر پکارا
ہم نے سن کر بھی انکار کر دیا

Khamoshi ne aaj phir naam le kar pukara
Hum ne sun kar bhi inkaar kar diya

Example 2 — Theme: Love

دل کے درد کو الفاظ میں ڈھالوں
تیرے عشق کے زخم ہیں کتنے نازک

Dil ke dard ko alfaaz mein dhaloon
Tere ishq ke zakhm hain kitne naazuk
