Abstract
Intezar Hussain started writing Urdu novels in 1948 after division of sub-continent. He was such an accomplished artist that almost all his writings somehow portray the scenarios of migration, division and human situations caused by these events. He was a unique novelist of new symbols, images, words, metaphors and allegories. History and culture, philosophy, human psychology and recent trends are portrayed dynamically in his writings. The theme of migration is dominant among all his writings because for him migration is not just related to separation from a piece of land rather it is matter of losing monuments of saints, separation from traditions and values, disconnection from history and culture as well as gradual loss of creative identity. Dwelling in the past through novels is a basic principle of his writings. On one hand, this dwelling in the past offered him possibilities to explore signs of human inquisitiveness, efforts and efforts. On the other hand, this helped him to look for his personal identity and self-awareness. Even symbolic system of his novels is linked to past. He depicted memories, dreams, superstitions, religious and historical stories, ups and downs of nations, and mysteries of civilizations in a wonderfully expert manner.
