Abstract
It is righty said that “Literature is a mirror of life.”Literature is a mode of expression of feelings and emotions. All the ills, customs, rituals, sacraments even the human emotions are beautifully expressed in literature and so are the case with lament also. Lament is simply a song or poem expressing deep grief or mourning. It is such a strong feeling that nothing and no one in the world can give relief from lament. Many of the oldest and most lasting poems in human history have been laments. Even Lament is there in Hindu Vedas and in ancient Near Eastern religious texts, including the Mesopotamian city laments such as Laments for Ur and the Jewish Tanakh. As long as human beings do have emotions feelings, literature will be created and will be read. Through this paper I would like to discuss lament which is present in different works of different poets and authors.
