Melancholic Moods in the Poetry of Shah Latif
Abstract
Man leads life in different passionate phases and the most trying one
of them is the melancholic one. Melancholy sometimes breaks the man and
sometimes strengthens him. It has many shapes and colors. When man learns
to use melancholy as his strength it helps him to attain sublimity. Melancholy
is not just pain in heart but it is a source of sweet comfort. Very few men know
the intricacies of melancholic mood.
In this ar cle I have tried to analyze the subtle portrayal of pathos in
Shah La f’s poetry. Shah’s poetry is replete with feelings of pain and pathos. It
depicts myriad states of despondency. Such a melancholic state prevails in
almost all the Surs (melodies) of La f. Unlike the fact that sorrows sha&er personali es La f gets inspira on from it. In his case it is a startling and absolutely unusual passion. It is sorrows that guide and inspire Sasui. I believe that to
see the way out in pain and witness beauty in melancholy is peculiar to La f.
