Syed Aqeel Raza Jafri considers himself not a poet but someone who strives to understand the depth of words and acquire knowledge through language. He believes poetry is a form of art that allows one to hold profound knowledge "in the cup" like holding the sea. While he has written thousands of poems, he finds his poetry on Allah's name most meaningful as it allows him to express knowledge in new or deeper ways. He leaves it up to readers and audiences to decide if his work makes him a poet.
104. I do not say that I am a poet but tried to understand the deepness of words or to acquire knowledge of
the word into the sea of knowledge for which the written word for the right place for right thought for
the right place is the art of poetry wherein the sea in the cup. I have to gather knowledge and think of
the time. To become the poet, the favour and comments of the audience or the reader are necessary
they decide whether he is a poet or not so I have left the decision on you to make the poet or the writer.
I think your opinion will be the genuioun reason for to find my way.
I did thousands of poetry but the poetry on Allahs name is the effort of mine that enables me to say
something more or more from the knowledge.
