Constructing Pakistan - pg. 71

I deem it important to explain the often-used term naheral poetry. Some people think that it means the kind of poetry associated with nacheries, or the poetry that represent the religious ideas of the nacheries. Some also think that nacheral poetry is the kind of poetry that provides an account of the fall of Muslims or nations. But this is not the case. Nacheral poetry means the kind of poetry that corresponds to natural instincts both in its words and its meaning. Words used in nacheral poetry must be taken from everyday spoken language; it must be realistic and people should be able to relate to it.
