غلام محمد قاصر کے کلام میں عصری معنویت

Contemporary Relevance in the Poetry of Ghulam Muhammad Qasir

Abstract

This article explores the poetic vision of Ghulam Muhammad Qasir, who is considered one of the most prominent voices of modern Urdu ghazal. Qasir’s poetry strikes a balance between tradition and modernity, preserving the classical form of the ghazal while infusing it with fresh sensibilities, modern diction, and contemporary socio-political consciousness. His ghazals reflect love, loneliness, exile, existential angst, and socio-political critique. By using simple yet powerful imagery, Qasir transforms individual pain into a collective narrative. The study    argues   that Qasir not only represents the transition of Urdu ghazal from classical to modern aesthetics but also establishes a distinctive voice that resonates with the struggles and aspirations of his era.
