Sarcouncil Journal of Arts and Literature Aims & Scope

Abstract: Afghan Dari literature has undergone renewal since the beginning of the 20th century. Changes in content, then in form, were reflected in the work of the country’s poets and writers with heated debates. One of such poets, Boriq Shafei, played an important role in the introduction of modernity to Afghan Dari literature. By studying his work, one can understand the “new poetry” in Afghan literature, the scope of its themes, its content and essence, and its significance in social life. At the same time, analysing the poems helps to comprehensively understand the importance of the “new poetry” style in expressing ideas and content in Boriq Shafei’s poems.
