“HAM DEKHENGE” AND “ODE TO THE WEST WIND” AS CLAIRVOYANTS OF WORLD PEACE THROUGH HUMAN DIGNITY

Abstract

The article analyzes the message hidden in the two poems, given as appendices, of famous revolutionary poets of the East and the West; Faiz Ahmed Faiz and Percy Bysshe Shelley. But both of them stand for world peace, humanity and human dignity and reflected their inside through the poetry they produced for which they had to face un-numbered problems but kept on educating people about the true meanings of humanity which only thrives when there’s peace around and human dignity and honor are considered as the hallmarks of the society and peace is extended to all irrespective of the caste and creed of the people. The message promulgated in the heart touching poems of Faiz: “Ham dekhenge: Lazim hai ham bhi dekhenge” and Shelley’s “Ode to the West Wind” are primarily exponent of the desire of the poets who, despite all odds, are not ready to accept tyrannical approach to curb human dignity and freedom which, in other words, are a guarantee for a peaceful society. This analytical study unfolds that how the poems of both the poets have become a clairvoyant in the global world which is striving hard for world peace and comity of nations is trying hard to avoid even a single wrong decision to avoid Third World War but at the same time the poems’ message should be considered which is hidden in the lines; human dignity and honor which bring nothing but peace which is required and shall prevail despite all opposition if all humans are treated equally.
