    Data Discussion and Analysis

    Style Adopted by Taufiq Rafat

    Without a doubt, Rafat is that the best writer from Pakistan who wrote in English. He’s the author for whom using Pakistani idioms remained the best practice throughout his dreamy career, and therefore the others were inspired by his large literary staff as well. His poem enables him to be a sincere observer of the developments from the pre-partition to the post-partition periods. It appears that he connects indigenous topics and elegance fitness. His idealistic intellect is often examined using a variety of postcolonial oppositional techniques. His use of native proverbs is another example of conflict where he appropriates the language consistent with his own preferences. Most of the time, his lyric uses calming symbols where he intricacies the regional individuals, Seasons,personages,Blossoms,trees then on.

    Themes and Symbolism in the Poem “Reflection”

    One of Rafat's longest and most intricate poems, "Reflections" is additionally the most significant in a deeply personal way. it's profound philosophical outlines and symbolism. Rafat wrote the poem during a pivotal point in his life. He had a stroke that left him paralysed and made him to spend three years in bed. His lyrical consciousness was still alive as he recovered from this physical paralysis. The results of those three years of introspection alone is "Reflections." Since a result, it also symbolised his "healing" within the poetic sense, as he finally came to writing after a long absence. The title itself is quite philosophical, denoting both the poet's musings and thoughts as he slowly recovered at his farm and skim through many of his favourite works from Eastern and Western literatures again and, in terms of intertextuality, numerous scholarly references to Eastern and Western literatures, histories, mystical thought systems, etc. additionally to this outstanding collection, there are other photos of a cultural character that depict rural life, Lahore and its surrounds, items and symbols that are representative of the ethos of the Punjab, the Indo-Pakistan partition, etc.

    As could also be seen from his narrative poems like "Mr. Nachiketa," "Wedding within the Flood," "Gangrene," and most notably "Reflections," Rafat is an adept storyteller. These poems make it clear that he's not a sentimentalist; rather, he's a master of understatement who uses sparing vocabulary to communicate his melancholy view of life. As Rafat himself states within the poem, "Reflections" could be viewed as his "Rebirth" or "Second pilgrimage." After battling illness, uncertainty, and passivity within the creative realm, hope is restored. The breadth and depth of his knowledge of other cultures and literature is 

    clear in this poem. His interest in Hindu mythology and Buddhist traditions is clear in numerous references to Ramayan, Arjun, Ganesha and Gautam. For Rafat, the artist's task is to revive human values independent of religion and ritual. The creative process is that the main theme of the poem. Words are more real than emotions, the artist's vision, the character of permanence, the 

    association of myths. There are vivid images of red-arsed (nightingale) that imbue the still trees with the song and rhythm of life, the glinting of kingfisher wings in breeding trees, and therefore the serenity of herons in ponds

    I have three words selected form every parts of speech of Taufiq Rafat poem Reflection for elaboration such as noun, verb, adverb, adjective, conjunction, preposition and determiner etc.

     

    Noun

    There are 316 nouns in this poem writer his used 316 different names of things. But the researcher has elaborate or explain only three of them such as Monsoon shower, Dumb tree, Myths

     

    Monsoon Shower

    Monsoon shower in Reflections author writes word noun in first stanza and in 3rd line of stanza. But now the researcher goes to evaluate this words that the writer meaning of this words. Monsoon shower refer to that when paddy fields receive the monsoon shower then they start action because this monsoon shower response to every living things and also respond to poet too. Because after that poet wake up and start the action then he able to writes to present something new. The main reason was that the energy already present in the air.

    Dumb Tree

    The author used this noun in four stanzas and in four line of stanza. Here the researcher describe that the word refer to what? The Dumb tree means nothing like that mean no fruits, no one like it because this tree no longer importance but when the red-arsed bulbuls inject the tree then this tree become valuable with life . Its mean something is really important in our life.

     

    Myths

    The writer writes this noun in stanza eight in second lines. Now the researcher goes toward this noun to find to describe the meaning of the writer in this stanza. Myth common meaning to explain some natural phenomena, those story in which people believe or not but here in this stanza the researcher elaborate this the relationship among the myth that what links between two myths if we look to the stanza 8 in this stanza the author compare herons with porcelain figurines in this stanza myth like that the herons live like but now the herons life become changed and it change forever. Myth stand on earth like mountain but if we look after many time this myth become fact become to nature. This facts we found after observation this myth become to reality but the author continue this word still to another stanza means in 9 stanza the author say that the myths create by poets but there in second the author also said that the poet have also this capability to destroy it.

     

    Verb

    Teased Used As A Verb In The Poem Reflection

    A rightness, an adequacy

    This teased me with its nearness before.

    Rafat say that in the first stanza that this teased me, teased mean irritate but the researcher go to explain that what the meaning is of teased in the poem. Teased mean was that in the poem the poet says the words become more powerful towards me for the action, presenting or writing. Every word want to pin down at the paper they want to shape, to articulate because of this the poet say the words become more heavy and make me teased .

     

     Another Word Convey Which Used As Verb In The Poem Reflection

    Convey means to present something, to say something. The work of words was that to convey the emotion of someone, to express the feeling of someone. But the poet says that the words die before to convey.

     

    Inject Is A Verb Which Used In The Poem Reflection

    Inject means to give something to someone the researcher evaluate the meaning with the respect of poem that red-arsed bulbul come and inject the dumb tree and give him life.

     

    Adverb

    A term or idiom that changes or succeeds the category an adjective, verb or a word group, expressing a connection of place, time, manner . Adverb which used Rafat in his poem are more but the researcher selects only three of them for the discussion such as casually, meanwhile, quickly.

We can openly see consonance in the poem i.e. the repetition of consonant sound g in   Living and thing (stanza 1st line 7).In the second stanza in line 5 and 6 of the poem consonant sound y in word Harmony and quickly. Therefore in 5th stanza line 5 s sounds in words guards and cross-roads .Similarly in stanza 8 in 2nd sentence s in words herons and figurines.

Another example of assonance sound i in 32 line of the poem in words hinted and winking. Then another vowel sound is u in words grunts and gestures in line 59 of the poem.
