Abstract
The research paper aims to explore Gerald James Larson’s Mysticism theory in Daud Kamal’s collected poems, Before the Carnations Wither. The objective of the research is to explore the facets of Daud Kamal’s poetry through images, symbolism, and themes used in the lens of mysticism and spirituality. The study highlights the poetry of Daud Kamal as a canvas rich interpretation of mysticism. Along with the different facets of tradition, culture, partition, and history with a focus on the writing style, images, and themes. The study fills the gap in research on Before the Carnations Wither which has hitherto not been deconstructed and critically analyzed in compliance to Mysticism. Mysticism theory, with a specific focus on Larson’s theory respectively, is the tool for this research paper. The study highlights the significance of Daud Kamal’s writings with different perspectives of culture, history, and religion in the light of a mystical and realistic theoretical lens. The future researchers can explore various other domains of Mysticism theory in the collection of poems and they can further explore the realistic theoretical framework in Daud Kamal’s poetry. It is a qualitative research with a special focus on grounded theory. It is not an interdisciplinary research.
