سلیم الرحمن کی نظم کا علامتی پہلو

Abstract

Salim-ur-Rahman is counted among the great poets of new poetry. His poems have a special style in terms of expression. He has broadened the scope of Urdu poetry especially with allegorical and symbolic style. His symbolic poems are very meaningful. A certain urban background can be seen in his poems. The city exists in his poetry as a huge symbol, with many smaller symbols in the background. Hospital, sick girl, eyes, river and forest are the special symbols of his poetry. Undoubtedly, his symbols are very eloquent and have a layered meaning. This is the reason why he is counted among the modern symbolic poets of Urdu.
