علامہ اقبال اور خواجہ غلام فرید کے متصوفانہ نظریات کا تقابلی مطالعہ
No full textThis article explores the intertwined philosophical and mystical conceptions of God, love, destiny, death, and the human soul through the poetic legacies of two towering figures of South Asian thought; Allama Muhammad Iqbal (1877–1938) and Khawaja Ghulam Farid (1845–1901). By juxtaposing Iqbal’s philosophical poetry, largely written in Persian and Urdu, with Farid’s mystical verse composed in Saraiki, the article highlights the resonance and divergence in their approaches to metaphysical realities. Both poets engage in an intellectual and spiritual dialogue with the Divine, but while Iqbal frames his vision in terms of the reconstruction of religious thought and the awakening of human selfhood (khudi), Farid emphasizes experiential mysticism, love (ishq), and surrender before the Beloved

اُردو نثری نظم اور لِسانی تشکیلات
No full textIt is a common and important principle of linguistics that when a word or language begins to die, a new word or language is formed from its womb and womb, which is a modified form of it. Then the newly formed word or language spreads and flourishes for a long time, new words come into use, when this or that language also dies, it is made obsolete and a new one is formed. Thus, once again, new words start coming into existence and the process of art continues along with evolution. In Urdu, prose poetry is actually the basic spirit of linguistic formations, which not only establishes a new metaphorical system of language in the lines of the poem, but also makes its semantic status more lively. Prose poetry is the name of new linguistic formation, expansion of metaphors and similes, formation of new symbols and presentation of new meanings and concepts. In any piece of literature, especially in poetry (prose poetry), the kingdom of meanings is established when the language and meanings are clear and correct. Thus, simultaneously, the path of language expansion on the one hand and thought expansion on the other is being paved. Among the poets who have experimented with linguistic composition in prose poetry, the linguistic experiments of three important prose poets are discussed. These include Iftikhar Jalib, Anis Nagi, and Saleem Shahza
