Abstract In this thesis, an attempt has been made to understand the ambiguity of modern Urdu poetry as a phenomenon. The ambiguous narrative of the modern poem has been debated in the literary world for decades. The majority of the readers think that the modern Urdu poem does not accept the responsibility of communication and expression, while the poets associated with the trend of ambiguity are of the opinion that the modern poem is not vague, in fact the reader is still connected with the tradition and modern trends which is making them unable to understand. In order to understand the nature of this problem, poems from the nineteen sixties to the 2000s have been studied indiscriminately. In the movement of linguistic reformation that started in the sixties, an attempt was made to express a new poetic expression by completely deviating from the traditional one. The intellectual and stylistic changes in poetry during this period gave rise to serious problems of ambiguity in modern poetry. The movement of linguistic reformations died out within just a few years after its failure, but the tendency of ambiguity in poetry continued. Therefore, the trend of ambiguities has been studied under European literary trends and the contemporary situation, especially the intellectual degeneration caused by the decline of the grand narrative. IX Poems ranging from the 1960 to 2000 period have been studied indiscriminately and it has been observed that ambiguity is not a general attitude of poetry but rather a tendency with which certain poets are associated. This is an alternative account that gives special importance to ambiguity in the standards of modern poetry. It has been observed that attempts are made to keep the narrative of the poem deliberately vague so that the intellectual decay caused by epics does not create a shallow meaning in the poem. This covenant is not of wisdom but of skeptical and contemplative thoughts. Such ideas arise due to not seeing life under any specific intellectual system, so their expression cannot create specific depths of meaning in the poem. Ideas of this nature communicate not at the level of meaning but rather at the current state of mind and perception. Therefore, in the craft of poems attributed to ambiguity, such poetic accessories are used which transfer the state and impression to the reader but actually confuse the poem. This occurs to such an extent that the suspicion of the meaning remains but the poem does not project an associated or coherent meaning to the reader.
