Abstract

Majeed Amjad, the great poetic genius presented his novel thoughts and ideas with great competency which conferred him distinctive position among his contemporaries i. e. Noon Meem Rashid, Meera Ji, Mukhtar Siddiqui, Jafar Tahir & Nasir Shahzad. Majeed Amjad was greatly influenced by English poets. Most of the tools, devices and figures of speech he used to create peculiar rhythm were derived from western tradition of poetry rather than oriental tradition. He held excellent command over the tools like assonance, alliteration, onomatopoeia, syncopation, modulation and many others. He followed great masters of English poetry and innovated different types of stanzas and unique rhyme schemes. It has been a dire need for critical appraisal of Majeed Amjad in the perspective of English tradition of poetry and criticism. In this article I have tried to explore the grey areas of Majeed Amjad poetry in the context of Swinburne, Hopkins, Edgar Allan Poe and Robert Frost.
