SARAIKI POETRY: MODERN INTELLECTUAL AND ARTISTIC TRENDS

Abstract

Contemporary Saraiki poetry possesses freshness in language and style, intellectual diversity, and thematic breadth. Modern poetry highlights important issues such as global human consciousness, environmental awareness, and the survival of the Earth, while new dimensions of poetic form and the modern use of symbols and metaphors have created new possibilities for expression. Inner experiences, psychological complexities, feminine consciousness, migration, uprootedness, and a sense of deprivation have become part of the modern poet's experiences. Alongside this, social awareness, the question of identity, and connection to the land link Saraiki poetry to the realities of the contemporary era. Thus, modern Saraiki poetry emerges not only as a reflection of the individual's inner world but also as an effective expression of collective consciousness.
