Abstract
'Doho' is a form of poetry to express inner feelings and emotions. It
has a limited pattern which allows very little margin to innovate and include
complicated thoughts and philosophical ideas. Looking at the developing
phase of Doho we know that right from its earlier period to the classical age
its subjects have been religious, romantic, peaceful, reformative and spiritual.
Shaikh Ayaz has not only tried to innovate its pattern but also widened its aesthetic and subjective canvas. No doubt, Ayaz's Doho has made
people both sad and satisfied. Basically, Doho is the by-product of colorful and
juicy aspect of Hindi language. Its diction has been natural; its accent has been
soft and it has always been refreshing and rhythmic. These qualities are also
found in Ayaz's Dohas.
Ayaz, in his Dohas, has used similes and metaphors according to his
own atmosphere and temperament that is why it is rich in natural beauty and
enticing music. Ayaz's Doho is balanced in terms of thought and art. It represents sublime harmony of notions and symphony of sounds. His Doho is a
unique example of spontaneity of thought and polished skill. His subjects in
Dohas are multidimensional, including romance, nature, spirituality, history,
philosophy, psychology, aesthetics, resistance, revolution, patriotism, pain,
pleasure, gloom, love, hope, humanitarianism, progress, awareness and peace
etc.
In this article, Ayaz's `Dohas` have been studied focusing on his innovative qualities and subjective range
