Sūfiyah kī shiʻrī baṣīrat men̲ Shrī Krishn

Published in 2009 by Educational Publishing House, Sūfiyah kī shiʻrī baṣīrat men̲ Shrī Krishn explores the intersection of Krishna as a symbolic figure within the tradition of Urdu Sufi poetry. Shamīm T̤āriq, a scholar noted for his critical studies on literature and culture, examines how the imagery and philosophy associated with Krishna were assimilated into the metaphorical landscape of Sufi thought, bridging the gap between historical religious motifs and mystical verse.

The book is situated within a broader intellectual movement in South Asian literary criticism that seeks to document the syncretic nature of Urdu literature. T̤āriq’s design for the work focuses on linguistic and historical analysis, aiming to provide a scholarly framework for understanding how devotional figures from one tradition serve as vessels for metaphysical expression in another. It is primarily regarded as an academic contribution for readers interested in the evolution of religious pluralism in Urdu poetry.
