The contemporary Urdu literature, mainly concerned about the gallant stories of the great heroes, thereby stirring up the society to come out of the gloomy manacles. Shibli was the most famous critique of his time. His works, reminiscent of graphic prose & immense eloquence are the confluence of different philosophies & beliefs.
