Abstract

In this article efforts have been made to revisit the Karbala poem of Raghunath Choudhary analyzing its literary view, elegy and tragedy, political consequences and human rights violation. Moreover, I have tried to introduce briefly about the writer of the poetry book, the characters and personalities mentioned in the poems. The tragedy of Karbala was an unfortunate incident that took place in 61 AH yet it is still fresh in the minds of the Muslims and affected Muslims deeply. Indeed, there have been extra-historical folklore and myth about the story of Karbala and Hasan-Hussain have been running in the Muslim society for a long time. Many poems, stories, plays, etc. have also been written on that incident since the tragedy happened. Although there is a same shadow of history in these narratives but the body is almost different. Some unsubstantiated information of the history is also included in his poems but the core and most of the events are purely factual. It is acknowledged that History and poetry are not the same things. Poetry is undoubtedly blossomed from the poet's imagination. The poet Raghunath Choudhary's "Karbala" is also the poem created based on the poet's feelings and history.

Abstract

Romantic poetry offers a distinctive way to explore love, longing, and emotional depth. The both poems of Ilya Abu Madi’s "Qatrat-al-Tall" (The Dewdrop) and Raghunath Choudhary’s "Hepah" (Desire) are romantic poems that shed lights on these kinds of themes through distinct perspectives. Abu Madi’s poem depicts love as a philosophical mystery, demanding investigation beyond appearances and highlighting romance as a fleeting but meaningful experience, while Choudhary’s poem celebrates sensory devotion, where love is deeply connected with nature and impacts the reader in passionate nostalgia, trying to discover the presence of love in the breeze, sunlight, and ocean. This study analyses how both poets expressed love using symbolism and poetic imagery including their brief biography. One is via thoughtful introspection while the other is through sensory engagement. Though they have cultural differences, but they share the same message like love has an emotional resonance which is universal, divine, and transformative.
