Picturesque is imagery in the ghazals of Andesh Shamul Qamar emerges as a defining poetic device through which symbolic language and thematic depth are intricately intertwined. The aesthetic harmony between meaning and word-choice reveals a refined sensibility where imagery serves not merely as decorative expression but as a structural force shaping poetic thought. Qamar’s ghazals employ vivid visual and sensory images, enriched by carefully crafted similes and metaphors, to articulate complex emotional states and philosophical reflections. Symbolic motifs drawn from nature, memory, and cultural experience deepen the thematic resonance of love, separation, longing, and inner consciousness. Through this layered use of imagery, language attains a pictorial quality that transforms abstract emotions into tangible poetic scenes, highlighting the poet’s mastery in fusing symbolism with aesthetic expression and reinforcing the enduring vitality of the ghazal form.
