Abstract

The study aims to explore the Postcolonial elements in the Selected poems of Iqbal and Darwish. Specifically, it intends to analyze the postcolonial themes of exile, displacement, belonging, homelessness, and the consequences of the sub-themes of sadness, loss, and Identity crises in the Selected poems of two national poets of Pakistan and Palestine. Both poems show the longing of the colonized for Home and belonging in their scenarios. The study highlights the quest of the oppressed Muslims of the subcontinent and Palestine for home and identity. Edward Said’s concepts are used as a theoretical framework and methodology for the analysis of the poems. The research is qualitative in nature, moreover, textual analysis is used as a method of analysis.
