An Analytical Review of Mystical Allusions in Atish's ghazals آتشؔ کی غزلیات میں متصوفانہ تلمیحات کا تجزئیاتی جائزہ

Abstract

This paper contains a detailed analysis of Khwaja Haider Ali Atish's Sufi thought and Sufi teachings. Through this paper, the propagation of Sufi teachings in Kalam-e-Atash has been evaluated in the context of the art of allusion, which aims to identify the distinction of Atish as a Sufi poet. The art of allusion is treated as an art in the classical ghazi in the poetic expression of all human emotions and situations, where the art of allusion is taken up by other classical poets. In Atish, this art justifies an excellent narrative for the poetic expression of Sufi teachings. This paper is an attempt to bring out the element of mystical thought in Atish in the best possible way.
