A Study of Lakshman Komal’s Ghazals
Abstract
Lakshman Komal was particularly known for his poetry. He was
a poet first and last, and his poetry is the prime source of his identity in
India. He was well-aware of all the subtleties of poetry because, from his
early age, he was fortunate to have the company of the eminent poets
like Narayan Shiyam and PurIsram Ziya. Moreover, he had Harumal
Sada rangani Khadim, an expert in prosody, as his teacher who
conditioned him to be a matchless poet of Ghazals. Along with Ghazals
he successfully composed Nazm (poem) and new poetry, yet his Ghazal
perfectly meets the criteria of prosody and it is artistically flawless and
highly sublime.
The language of Lakshman Komal’s Ghazals is truly beautiful
and polished. Though he started composing poetry in an age when
Sindhi Ghazal was greatly under the influence of Persian patterns and
comparisons, but his Ghazals indicate only a slight Persian influence. His
Ghazals largely exude the fragrance of pure Sindhi tradition. There is
profuse use of Hindi words in the Sindhi poetry of many Sindhi poets
living in India, which is a natural sign of the influence of the land on their
writings but Lakshman’s Ghazals seem to be completely free from such
influence. In this article, the research has attempted to make a
comprehensive study of Lakshman Komal’s Ghazals
