1857 سے قبل اردو شاعری میں حب الوطنی کے عناصر

Abstract

Man is bound by his nature. It is his nature and instinct to lobe his own soil. Wherever he is and in what condition he is, this deep feeling of love never weakens and he is ever ready to give any sacrifice for the honor of his country. This feeling and sensation is named as patriotism or country fellowship.An Artist is normally and especially, objectively and subjectively, in both manners is regarded as the reflector and representative of his society. He expresses his emotions through words and it is normally beloved that they are the most sensitive segments of community, so they are more expressive.

There were only a few poets who acted as silent observers in this scenario. Bahadur­Shah­Zafar, Munir Shikwa Abadi, Mustafa Khan Sheefta, Mufti Sadr­ud­din and Fazal­Haq Khair Abadi are the few names who were punished after 1857 for their freedom fighting. The color of patriotism seems dominant in their whole work.
