اثرِ خوابِ گراں میں: جوش -انقلاب و تہذیب کا تناظر
No full textBeginning with a discussion about the revolutionary aspect of Josh's poetry, Mubin Mirza argues that apart from contingent and external factors that have influenced this poetry, it is Josh's understanding of the concept of a human being that plays the most important role in this regard. The author argues that according to Josh, the concept of an ideal human leads down to a real human. Similarly, the ideal of revolution in his mind leads down to something very real in his poetry. In Josh's view, a revolution is not a break from the continuity of life it is a tool of steering that flow of life in a new direction. The author also argues that it is the passion and romance in Josh's poetry that binds together the substance of his poetry, namely the concept of God, of humanity, and of life.
