This page outlines the editorial standards, content sourcing policy, and general disclaimers that govern all content published on Shumaar.com.


1. Content Standards

All content published on Shumaar.com is researched and written by author. We do not scrape, copy, or republish content from other websites without proper attribution. Every post is built around original framing, contextual explanation, and editorial selection — not just a reproduction of verses found elsewhere.
We are committed to improving the quality of every post over time — updating older content with better images, more context, and improved formatting as our standards evolve.
All posts on Shumaar are suitable for general audiences. We do not publish explicit, offensive, or harmful content of any kind.


2. Poetry Attribution and Copyright

All shayari from classic poets published on Shumaar — including Mirza Ghalib, Allama Iqbal, Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Dushyant Kumar, and Kabir Das — is sourced from public domain works. These poets passed away decades ago and their work is freely available for educational and cultural use.
We do not publish shayari from living poets or recently deceased poets whose estates hold active copyright without explicit permission.
If you believe any content on Shumaar.com infringes on your copyright, please contact us immediately through our Contact page and we will address it within 48 hours.


3. Original Image Policy

All image cards published on Shumaar.com are original designs created by our team. Backgrounds used in our image cards are either original AI-generated images created specifically for our posts or properly licensed stock photography. We do not use copyrighted photographs scraped from other blogs or social media platforms. Every card carries the Shumaar.com watermark.


4. Editorial Independence

Shumaar’s content decisions are driven entirely by what is useful and meaningful to our readers. We do not allow advertisers, sponsors, or third parties to influence our editorial choices. Any sponsored or paid content published on this site will be clearly labelled as such.


5. Accuracy and Updates

While we make every effort to ensure the accuracy of biographical information, historical context, and poet attributions published on this site, Shumaar.com is a content blog and not an academic publication. If you notice an error in attribution or historical information, please contact us and we will correct it promptly.


6. Affiliate and Advertising Disclaimer

Shumaar.com intends to display third-party advertisements. These advertisements are clearly distinguishable from editorial content. We may also participate in affiliate programmes in the future. Any affiliate links will be disclosed clearly within the relevant post.
Shumaar.com is not responsible for the content, products, or services offered by third-party advertisers or affiliate partners.
