Abstract Literature and Environment: An Eco-Critical Study of Pakistani Urdu Poems Guided by the underpinning of Eco-criticism, the study investigates various poems of the selected poets and traces how the poets incorporate the features of Eco-criticism. Being influential figures of society, literati, poets and academic researchers bring into their creative ambit the conditions affecting their surroundings. However, it is surprising that Eco-criticism has not been a popular investigative field in Urdu literature in general and poetry in particular. To fill this gap, the current study traces the important aspects of Eco-criticism˗Biocentrism, Bio- community, wilderness, Animism and Eco-feminism. The study finds that Urdu poetry has keenly brought into limelight the core issues of Eco-criticism. It analyses the poems both philosophically and critically. The primary sources are the original poems of the poets, which have been interpreted in the light of the secondary sources obtained from different libraries, books, magazines, the internet and interviews. The critical investigation reveals that the selected poets, through their poetry, not only introduce various dimensions of Eco-criticism, but also extend its scope through different environmental and societal perspectives. The study finds that a poet is a keen observer of his/her surroundings besides presenting his/her intellectual self. Moreover, the poet is well aware of the issue of Eco-criticism, therefore, s/he contributes to the academic field creatively. The study is limited to the selected poets of the Urdu poems and urges the researchers to explore other dimensions of Eco-criticism. It also leaves implications for the future researches, specifically in prose and novel.
