Poetry is an art through which one can best express one’s ideas. Unlike other genres, its style and lexical choice attract the listeners and readers alike as poets, according to Plato, are divinely inspired. They arose the emotions and, thus, guides and teaches. Though Balochi classical poetry has a long history, its attraction and taste remain the same. On the other hand, modern Balochi poetry sprang in the early 1951 and yet produced leading poets as such: Basheer Bedar, Mubarik Qazi, Atta Shad, Syed Zahoor Shah Hashumi, Gul Khan Naseer and many others. These figures have exercised their genius in different poetic forms such as Sonnet, poems and Hhiko but Ghazal seems to the center of all, probably because it is a good tool to express the emotions while at a time attracting the listeners and readers of all ages. The present study is a snapshot of modern Balochi Poetry and its aims to explore its qualities under the short spell of 70 years.
