How to make an Urdu poetry image

  1. Write your couplet in the box, one misra per line. The box starts with a famous couplet by Allama Iqbal so you can see how it works.
  2. Add the poet's name (optional). It appears in smaller text under the poem.
  3. Choose a font and a style: Night, Rose, Paper, Emerald, White or Black.
  4. Choose a size: square post, portrait post or story and status.
  5. Press Download image to save the PNG, then share it anywhere.

The six styles

  • Night – deep indigo with soft lavender accents, for romantic and reflective verse.
  • Rose – pale pink with a rose-red frame, gentle and warm.
  • Paper – cream and brown, like the page of an old diwan.
  • Emerald – rich dark green with mint accents, well suited to naat, hamd and Islamic verse.
  • White – clean and bright, with an indigo accent.
  • Black – pure black with golden accents for a bold, elegant look.

Each style has a subtle gradient, a thin inner frame, and a small ornament between the poem and the poet's name.

Features

  • Three Urdu fonts chosen for poetry: two Nastaliq styles and one Naskh.
  • Six colour styles with matching frames and ornaments.
  • Three social media sizes in full 1080-pixel width.
  • Automatic fitting: the largest text size that fits every line is chosen for you.
  • Live preview that updates as you type.
  • Optional poet credit under the poem.
  • Phonetic typing for writing Urdu with English keys.
  • No watermark on the downloaded image.

Why use Fileora's Urdu poetry maker

Design apps rarely handle Nastaliq well, and many shayari apps add their own logo to your image. Here the letters join properly, the layout is done for you, and the image is yours to share.

It's free, needs no sign-up or app install and works on your phone. Your poetry is drawn in your browser and never leaves your device.

To try a single line in five different fonts with a transparent background, use the Urdu font generator. If you think in Roman Urdu, write the verse there first in the Roman Urdu to Urdu converter and paste the result here.

Tips for a beautiful poetry image

  • Keep each misra on one line. A couplet looks best as two balanced lines.
  • Match the style to the mood. Paper suits classic ghazal, Night suits longing and Emerald suits devotional verse.
  • Use Story size for status updates so the image fills the whole phone screen.
  • Check the spelling carefully, especially ہ, ھ and ے, since readers notice mistakes in poetry.

Frequently asked questions

How do I put Urdu poetry on an image?

Type or paste your couplet into the box, with each misra on its own line. Add the poet's name if you like, pick a font, style and size, and press Download image. The preview shows exactly what you will get.

Which sizes can I download?

Three sizes: a square post (1080 × 1080), a portrait post (1080 × 1350) and a story or status (1080 × 1920). These match the sizes Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp use for posts and stories.

How many lines can I add?

Up to six lines, which is enough for a sher, a qita or a short ghazal extract. Empty lines are skipped. The text size shrinks automatically to fit the lines; a very long line is better split in two.

Is there a watermark?

No. The image contains only your poetry, the poet's name and a small decorative ornament.

Which fonts can I use?

Noto Nastaliq Urdu, the classic style of Urdu poetry books, Gulzar, a modern Nastaliq, and Noto Naskh Arabic, which is upright and very clear. All three are free, open-licence fonts.

Can I share poetry by any poet?

Classic poets such as Ghalib, Mir and Iqbal died long ago and their poetry is free to share. When sharing a modern or living poet, always credit them by name. Using the poet field keeps the credit on the image itself.

Is my poetry uploaded?

No. The image is drawn in your browser and saved straight to your device. Nothing you write is sent to a server.
