Analytical Study of Sulaiman Layeq's Quatrain

Abstract

studied analytically. The moral analysis of the chosen quatrain has been taken into consideration in this article. Efforts have been made to clarify and explain important words of all four lines of the quatrain and their relation with each other. The content of the chosen quatrain talks about human and thus it can be called a humanistic quatrain. The article explains all four lines of the quatrain. The quatrain has been taken from the book written by Layeq. Analyzing each line is the duty of the author and to prove his opinion, the author has used the references of other authors as well. The goal of the article is to analyze Layeq’s quatrain as an addition to Pashto Language which will pave the way to further research. It is a library research which has employed descriptive and analytical methods. The finding of the article is that the poems of Sulaiman Layeq like other poets have different subjects in the area of meaning. This quatrain is related to human, human genuineness and humanism. The poet is very careful in choosing the subject, employing words for his own purpose, tones, rhythm and rhyme of the couplets, and number of syllables. The value of the research is that many of the author’s poems particularly many of his quatrains, such as this one, need analysis and interpretation. Analyzing and explaining a quatrain is difficult task, however, based on my studies I have tried to fulfill its requirements completely. There are fewer references regarding this area, it needs author’s own analysis and description, and I have tried my best to complete the research nicely and professionally.
