Abstract

Prose poetry is not only an echo of morphological derivations; it is a beautiful act of poetic creation. Western literature used the words poetic prose and speech rhythm even during the 19th and 20th centuries. The 17th-century Japanese poetry of Matsu Basu is even much before such association. The Urdu literary tradition has always shown a capacity for assimilating and adopting other literary forms, hence adapted many literary terms and exceled in many genres including poetic genres. Prose poetry (Nasam) is such one poetic genre, although historical it roots back in Sanskrit literature and developed in Urdu. Monsif Hashmi's prose poetry, particularly the collection in Ishq is a momentous source of evidence on prose poetry in Pakistan. Primarily, this research paper employs a qualitative research method, utilizing content analysis to explore the echo of morphological derivations and creative adaptation of prose poetry in Urdu.
