Why only these poets

Only poets whose work is in the public domain are reproduced in full here. Poets still in copyright (Faiz, Faraz, Nida Fazli, Kaifi Azmi, Javed Akhtar…) appear only as a single opening sher on the songs page, or you can paste their lines into the Taqti tool. Every sher above was verified to scan in one consistent bahr.
