Chapter 17: سب کا پیارا
"Sab Ka Pyaara" (loved by all) is a poem by Barkat Ali Firaq. The title suggests praise of someone or something dear to everyone, and children enjoy reciting it together. This item is among the four extras that the prelims describe as included for reading only, without exercises.
This is chapter 17 of 19 in Sitar, the Class 3 Urdu textbook, in Unit 5, صحت اور غذا (Health and food), and begins on page 145 of the printed 2026-27 book. It follows "پھول کماری" and is followed by "رات". Its form in the contents is: poem, by Barkat Ali Firaq. Transliterated title: Sab ka Pyaara.
Urdu textbooks at this stage share cultural values as well as language, and "سب کا پیارا" is an opportunity to do both. Listening, speaking, reading and writing are developed together, and the teacher's own clear, expressive reading is the most useful model. Short daily practice in tracing letters and copying neat lines helps with the shapes of the script. Families can help by listening to the child read, by sharing poems and stories from their own heritage and by praising effort.
Listen to your child read "سب کا پیارا" aloud at home and ask what they understood. Point to words along the line from right to left, and help them trace letters carefully. Reciting poems to family members builds both pronunciation and confidence.
This overview is written from the 2026-27 textbook's Contents page, its preface and the chapter title, to help families and teachers prepare. Please read the chapter itself for exact content, activities and exercises.
