Author(s) Islam Ud Din

Abstract The axis of existentialism is human existence. Its main problem is self-realization. It is a long and painful journey from internalization to externality and from being to becoming, in which the problems of existence and non-existence, knowledge of God, cosmology, search for truth, existence and essence (destiny), human freedom, rationalism and scientism e.t.c. are important milestones. And anxiety, worry, despair, anguish, disappointment, nausea, absurdity, possibility, choice and decision, e.t.c. are the difficulties of this path. After the world wars, existentialism took the form of a philosophical movement in the West through literature. Kierkegaard, Sartre and Colin Wilson etc. are its leading exponents. Its influence in Urdu literature is visible in the sixties. This research consists of four chapters. The first chapter covers the introduction, background and key existential debates. It also deals eastern and new existentialism. The second chapter describes the relation between literature, Urdu ghazal and existentialism. It also includes some important existential terminologies and indicates the pessimistic elements in selected anthologies of Urdu ghazal. The third chapter bases its discussion on the pessimistic and optimistic discussions of existential philosophers and critic. It especially describes the optimistic approach of selected poets of ghazal. The fourth chapter consists of an overview of all previous chapters. The research findings are also included in the same chapter.
