Abstract

The disastrous earthquake of October 8, 2005, has badly affected the areas of Hazara and Kashmir. In On Ki On, the history of humanity was turned upside down and the victims were badly affected by the historical tragedy. History has shown such a state of devastation and destruction, the example of which is not found before at the national level. The occurrence of this tragedy made possible the creation of earthquake literature in Urdu literature. Therefore, the creative impulse showed its effects in Urdu literature. In this way, we got to see such an upheaval of intense emotions and intense feelings, which was truly unprecedented. The poets and writers have presented a lot of literary illustrations, at the foot of which the bitter facts show their effect. In Urdu literature and the literature of local languages, distressed humanity and troubled life have shown their influence which is hardly found anywhere in the literature. The reflection of the trials and tribulations of humanity along with soul-crushing became the religion of such diverse themes. Expressing the intensity of emotions was a natural process, but the amazing thing was that the poets and writers of Hazara created the literature. There is no superficiality or superficiality anywhere in it. It is as if the conscious penetration of optimism is the endowment of seismic speech, which is a precursor to the creation of great literature. The examples of panic and personal audacity, which are found here, are hardly to be found even during the outbreak of wars. In such a situation, the victims were left despondent and they had to face such a miserable environment and psychology that their example became like that of a lost traveler, who got lost from his caravan and got stuck in such trouble, which the world knows. In solitude, he should be brought to such a crossroads of life that there is no one to guide him and guide him. In such a case, the emotions and feelings of this person and his psyche can be easily found in the seismic literature. A tragedy and a tragedy that has taught man to face the situation in different ways and has forced artists to think outside of the ordinary has been confirmed by the arrival of this earthquake. Nature also supplies such calamities and tragedies for the creation of good literature, which gives the thinking mind and the working hand and the loin-clothed courage a chance to convince and prove themselves anew. The overall tragedy caused by the earthquake also has an aspect in this regard, which is an example of literature
