A Study of G. Allana's Poetry The younger generations of Pakistan know very little about own scholars; out side of Pakistan whose qualities not only recognized but bestowed their highest honours honours upon them. G. Allana acquired international fame on many accounts. He excelled in various fields as a diplomat, journalist, Statesman, businessman, biographer, historian, poet and anthologist of poetry from different languages as Sindhi, Urdu, Punjabi, Pashto, Bengali, Gujrati and Balochi into English that radiated his love for ceaseless creativity. The purpose of this research is to give brief account of life, works and themes of his poetry. G. Allana has written six books of poetry as: Incense and Echoes, Thus Spake Man, The Silent Hour, At the Gate of Love, The World Within and The Hills of Heaven. Here is a study of G. Allana's poetry and especially his mystic symbols, beliefs and themes, which he used through poetry. The thesis in hand focuses on the beliefs of Islamic mysticism, which are called the pillars of Islamic Mysticism as (a) the belief in the Unseen. (b) seeking the knowledge of the Unseen (c) the quest for the Unseen through signs and manifestations in the world of creation (d) realization of the Unseen by preparing the self to grasp the reality of things and life. G. Allana's mystical philosophy is instinctive and alive with personal experiences, which is the reflection of his mystical philosophy. He reflects the general sprit of the Islamic mysticism and the theme of his poetry is the divine philosophy of Holy Quran. G. Allana's poetry describes important aspects of his mystical vision, which he describes through different symbols as light, height, spirit, time, rain, garden and music etc. The necessary stages and states of the Islamic mystic path like 'repentance, abstinence, renunciation, poverty, patience, trust, satisfaction, gnosis, love, fear, hope, longing, nearness, tranquility, meditation, contemplation and certitude are embodied in G. Allana's poetry. His mysticism founded on the doctrine of love, bloom within the bonds of Islam as he says in The World Within: God is love, and love is the highest Truth; And love of God is the most perfect of all relationships.
