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.". [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
