Abstract
Arif Abdul Mateen is a progressive bard whose Ghazal (lyrical poetry) 60 tinged
with aesthetic values ,is a fine amalgamation of subjectivity and objectivity
.Moreover,it is reflective of social realism. His poetry is based on his enviable
educational and artistic access and his profound thoughts and vision. After the
partition (1947) if we discuss the renowned poets of the era, the names of Faiz
Ahmed Faiz, Zaheer Kashmiri, Sahir Ludhianivi, Ahmed Nadeem Qasmi and
Arif Abdul Mateen appear on the canvas of mind. He derived all the metaphors
and symbols from the progressive movement and aged them critically in his
poetry. Ideologically, he remained associated with progressive till his last breath.
His poetry reflects the sense of deprivation prevailed in the lives of the
proletariat class. He raised a strong agitating voice against the exploitation of
the power oriented bourgeoisie.
