قیوم نظر کی نظم گوئی: ایک تجزیاتی مطالعہ

Abstract

The purpose of the present article is to analyze the phenomenon of the ever-changing literary and everyday world in Qayoum Nazar's modern poetry. As a leading poet of Halqa Arbab-e-Zouq, he follows the innovative tradition of Tassaduq Hussain Khalid, Noon Meem Rashid, Mira Ji, Mukhtar Siddique and Yousuf Zafar for the unique usage of literary concepts such as symbolism, naturalism, imagism, allusions, metaphors, and similes while dealing with the subjects of the traditional concept of love and other issues of humanity.  His explicit usage of Urdu diction implies that he deliberately avoids borrowing words from Arabic, Persian and Hindi. His poetry showcases transnational issues of political and social exploitation, economic disorganization, colonial tactics of imperial powers, the struggles and differences of social classes, illiteracy, slavery, break up of social values that create problems for humanity on the individual level. The individual problems of life include absurdity, monotony, isolation, and nothingness. Thus, the existence of all these features of modern poetry in Nazar's works guides us to classify him as a pioneering poet of matchless genius with a novel urdu accent and diction.
