Abstract

"Jafar Tahir is considerd one of those few poets of urdu literature who are the emblem of some genre of lliterature. There is no remarkable tradition of writing cantos before him. Jafar Tahir achieves such an excellence in writing Cantos that no one is at par with him, neither from his predeccesors nor from his successors. Althogh N.M. Rashid also wrote some Cantos but no one can equal Jafar Tahir in this regard. Most of the critics' opnion on Jafar's poetry is mainly impressionistic, that they have just treated him as a poet of Cantos and they have not bothered to look at his excellent work in 'Ghazal' and 'Nazam'. Jafar Tahir's work has been published in the most prestigious literary editions of his age."
