Abstract
Urdu ghazals are read, heard, sung and written in most of the countries of the world, apart from the Indian subcontinent. The distinction of this genre is that it can best express the entire situation, from human life to death. Thousands of poets, from Wali Dikni to Mirza Dagh, have spent their lives and blood in its upbringing. After the partition of the subcontinent, interest in this genre still persists on both sides of the border. While great work has been done in the evolution of Urdu ghazals in India, hundreds of poets have contributed to the evolution of this genre in Pakistan and have successfully continued its evolutionary journey. This paper covers the role of Pakistani poets in the evolution of modern Urdu. The words and themes of these selected poets will help in understanding the evolutionary journey of Urdu ghazals. This paper is based on the selection and analysis of poets from Nasir Kazmi to Ahmad Abdullah from the post-partition period to the second decade of the 21st century.
