ناصر شہزاد کی شاعری میں مقامی زبانوں کی لفظیات اور شعری جمالیات

VERNACULAR VOCABULARY AND POETIC AESTHETICS IN NASIR SHEHZAD’S POETRY

Abstract

This article presents a research study on the local diction, cultural consciousness, and poetic aesthetics in the poetry of Nasir Shehzad. His work prominently features the aesthetic and symbolic influences of Punjabi culture, rural life, folk ethos, and nature, alongside the Hindi cultural tradition. The research demonstrates that these localized elements serve not merely as rhetorical embellishments, but as vital mediums for cultural identity and poetic expression. Symbols such as the village, soil, seasons, rivers, and moonlight elevate localized experiences into broader human significance. Nasir Shehzad creatively integrated Punjabi folk sensibility and the Hindi aesthetic tradition into Urdu poetry, synthesizing tradition with modernity, and local awareness with universal consciousness.
