CIVILIZATIONAL AND CULTURAL DISCOURSE IN CONTEMPORARY URDU POETRY

Abstract

Contemporary Urdu poetry is enriched with a spiritual and metaphysical dimension of our intellectual and cultural tradition. Therefore, different dimensions of our intellectual and cultural traditions are inherently evident. It contains metaphors, allegories and symbols regarding our cultural tradition, which along with its association with our cultural ideology, seems to introduce this tradition to future literature. Hence, our views regarding the concept of God, the universe, life, humanity and the very purpose of life are abundantly clear.
