THE INFLUENCE OF SENIORS ON POETRY OF SHAIKH AYAZ
Abstract
The birth of Shaikh Ayaz is certainly a 20th century miracle in Sindhi
poetry and prose. He not only brought a major change with his authoritative
thoughts and expressions but also bestowed a new life on Sindhi literature. He
is a great intellectual asset of the Subcontinent. He introduced new diction,
themes, characters, rhythms, intellect and exclusive inner and objective images
in his poetry. Ayaz articulated the real feelings of common Sindhi folks and
brought to light the social wreckage of their society to renovate their ethonational idientity, irrespective of the cultural, lingual and religious partialities.
Shaikh Ayaz was inspired by many of his home land poets like Qazi
Qadan, Shah Kareem, Shah Latif, Sami, Sachal and many other scholars, artists and mystics, as Shah Hussain, Bulla Shah, Rumi, Hafiz, Umer Khayyam,
Kabeer, Galib, Miraan etc. Along with them, there is long list of western poets
and writers who have been Ayaz’s inspiration. In this paper, a comparative
study of Shaikh Ayazs’ poetry with other eastern and western poets is discussed with references to prove that though Ayaz is inspired by the classical as
well as modern poets, intellectuals and artists, he has his own individual intellect and fragrance in his poetry and prose
