I. H. Rizvi As Distinguished from Other Contemporary Poets of India

Abstract

Despite the fact that Dr. Rizvi has published nine massive books of poetry, he has remained outstanding in each collection of his poetry, which is flavoured with lyrical and romanticism while being grounded in classical rigour. It has elevated him to the pinnacle of modern Indian English poetry. It is undeniable that Dr. Iftikhar Hussain Rizvi is a prolific writer. He has earned a lofty standing in the kingdom of modern English poetry. His handwriting touches practically every aspect of existence. While his poetry is filled with romantic fantasies, he never fails to leave a message of reformation. The best poets are bottomless wells of deep sentiments. They are extraordinarily sensitive folks who loved and loathed, experienced travails of time and relished the fullness of existence. As a thirsty field requires plentiful torrents of rain, so do our shriveled souls dried with dull and carking anxieties require the invigorating and nourishing effect of the powerful hearts of the poets. Only poetry has the power to revitalize every aspect of man. Poetry, as a stimulating force, broadens our spiritual horizons and allows us to experience ourselves. A poet is not simply an observer, but also someone who wishes to change the fabric of society. Whatever he sees, experiences, and endures, he puts into words. It is certain that I.H. Rizvi's poetry communicates mankind's teachings, as well as a sense of awakening and sympathy for our fellow creatures, and instills the notion of global brotherhood among people. As a result, we can claim that Rizvi is a well-known and extensively published poet. He is a poet who sings lyrics of optimism and of human concern, love, subjectivism, and emotionality.
