Product Description

This dissertation is about “The Use of Metaphors in Iqbal’s Urdu Poetry: An Analytical Study in light of Conceptual Metaphor Theory”. The objective of this study is to analyze the metaphorical expressions, used by Iqbal in his Urdu Poetry. Iqbal uses Conceptual Metaphors as tools to introduce his various concepts in a magnificent manner. The researcher analyzes the whole work in the light of Lakoff and Johnson’s Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT). The theory assumes that the statements, defined metaphorically are based on human thoughts and their experiences. It is no more a complex phenomenon, rather it is used in everyday life by people. In a similar manner, Dr. Muhammad Iqbal has expressed his views by comparing a term in context to a different one but to ensure that it has similar meaning as the literal sentence, which is true. Selected couplets from Iqbal’s Urdu Poetry (UP) have been analyzed and explained. Iqbal has expressed his thoughts about the youth, nation, government, self and so on, metaphorically that are pervasive in daily lives of people. The researcher concludes that Iqbal has conceptualized his experience of that time in his poetry with the use of metaphors to reawaken Muslim spirit. His views and thoughts were also influenced by his cultural beliefs, as it is obvious in his entire poetry. He has emphasized the importance of developing a close association with Allah to become a “perfect man” through selfrealization.
