Abstract

The poetry of the subcontinent has always been intertwined with its religious, cultural, and social values. This paper explores how Islamic, scientific, and ecological themes have shaped Urdu poetry, especially through the works of key poets like Iqbal, Faiz, Ghalib, and others. Moving beyond traditional romantic themes, modern poets addressed social, political, and philosophical issues, reflecting on technological advancements, colonial oppression, and the complexities of life and death. The evolving societal and political landscapes have been consistently mirrored in poetic expressions, making poetry a crucial medium for social reform and consciousness.
