(Symbolic Representation of Modern Life in Punjabi Ghazal: A Research Analysis)
Abstract
Punjabi poetry is replete with symbols since Baba Farid but under the influence of literary movement that originated with a group of French poets, these symbols have undergone a change. Treatment of symbols in new terms can also be related with Industrialization which was not only a revolution in human life but also in literature. New symbols were introduced in Punjabi poetry to portray many facets and concepts of mechanical life. These symbols are presenting the harsh realities of modern time, e.g. miseries, sufferings and worries of man which are bitter fruit of Industrialization. Man is alone in the vast universe in spite of billions of souls; this is the tragedy of modern man hence he is facing selfishness, senselessness, hypocrisy and several other calamities. All these troubles of modern man are being realized by Punjabi poets of 'ghazal' and they are presenting their age through various symbols derived from nature and other sources. Through this research, an attempt has been made to explain the treatment of symbols in Punjabi 'ghazal'.
