Abstract
Beauty; due to its natural attraction, innermost power and
popularity; has captured the consideration of philosophers, poets as
well as artists for a long in the intellectual circles historically.
From early Greek to modern and postmodern times philosophers,
poets and critics have been discussing various aspects of aesthetics
in relation to manifold dimensions of nature, beauty and human
reality. Aesthetics demonstrates the innermost and essential modes
and models of beauty and nature in relation to human reality in an
absolute variety [awesome variety]. In contrast to this, beauty was
necessarily associated with goodness, virtue and divinity in Greek
Times. Later on it got into ethical cum social and religious truth of
human reality ontologically. Moreover, aesthetics consigned beauty
to the subjectivity and objectivity conditions in the main stream of
discussions regarding human consciousness and its relation to

the concepts of beauty lost the objective significance, rather got
accentuated in the one dimensionality of group or public interest
retaining or revising beauty as willed and desired. This view
challenged the objectivity of beauty in itself such as beauty is value
manifestation of nature. In this research article we have discussed
and explored various notions of Aesthetic reflecting beauty, nature
and human reality. In this context, we have disused aesthetic in
general and Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai’s poetry in particular. We
have philosophically analyzed Shah’s aesthetic vision and poetic
tendency to bring basic notions of beauty to a disclosure. This
research would lead us to expose essential aspects of philosophical

Shah’s poetry not only eulogizes beauty latent in the nature
[objective phenomenal world] but also the power of divine beauty
as unified totality.
