Sher on Samundar

Sea has been a major

symbol in poetry of all languages and in all ages. It represents history, memory, flux of time, and grandeur apart from many other things. Urdu poets have been enamored by its symbolic significance and they have used it multiple contexts. This selection brings to you a few of its facets and dimensions. We hope you enjoy the depths of the sea and its poetical representations here.
