Charagh Sharma, born 15 July 1998 in Chandausi, Uttar Pradesh, is a popular young Urdu poet known for romantic, deeply felt verse that blends traditional ghazal style with a modern sensibility. His poetry and live performances have rapidly gained popularity among younger audiences for their freshness and energy. He also performs and creates content under his own name, describing himself as a poet, writer, performer and content creator.

[Atlas Assessment] A real hit with a substantial, verified following (43K Instagram) built primarily through digital performance rather than traditional literary-institution channels - worth noting as a case study in how younger Urdu poets now build audiences differently than the Rekhta-cohort poets in this same batch who rose through festival and academy circuits.
Charagh Sharma represents the social-media-native generation of Urdu poets - his public identity as 'Content Creator' alongside 'Poet' reflects a genuinely different career model from older generations who built audiences purely through mushairas and print.
