Abstract

This paper explores the depiction of spirituality in Urdu poetry through the lens of symbolic poetry. The mysticism and spiritual themes in Urdu poetry have long been significant, and symbolic poets have played a crucial role in conveying profound spiritual experiences. By analyzing the works of prominent Urdu poets like Allama Iqbal, Faiz Ahmed Faiz, and Ahmed Faraz, this article delves into the ways they used symbolism to express spiritual ideas and experiences. The paper also examines the historical and cultural context of spiritual symbolism in Urdu poetry, its impact on literary expression, and how it shaped the understanding of spirituality in modern times. This study offers insights into the fusion of spirituality and symbolism, contributing to the unique and profound nature of Urdu poetic tradition.
