RESISTANCE THOUGHTS OF JOSH MALIHABADI’S MARSEYA

Some of the twentieth century poets have tried their level best to make Urdu elegy compatible with the modern day

requirements. These poets include the name of Josh maleeh abadi too. Giving new strength to elegy, josh focused on the

genre of elegy and put efforts by bringing it according to the contemporary needs of the that time. He considers

exploitative forces as the “Lieutenants of Yazid” and terming it as “ A new Karbala”, he advocates his native fellows to

make the cause of the Hussain (R.A) their own. Josh began elegy with protest and resistance. That is why protesting

behaviours against imperial forces, capitalists, social corruption and dictatorship are to be seen is in the poetry of josh

maleeh abadi.
