Abstract

This paper examines the linguistic and literary features of Punjabi “War” poetry, a significant classical genre. It explores phonetics, syntax, and grammar, highlighting their role in shaping Punjabi literature. The study focuses on the contributions of poets like Pir Muhammad Chatha and their impact on oral and written traditions. It analyzes stylistic elements such as metaphors, similes, and idiomatic expressions that enhance war poetry’s narrative. Additionally, the research investigates the integration of Persian and Arabic vocabulary and its effect on linguistic evolution. The study also considers how “War” poetry portrays historical events, bravery, and cultural values. By analyzing these elements, the paper provides insights into the genre’s influence on Punjabi language and identity. This research aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of how “War” poetry serves as both a literary art form and a historical record of Punjabi heritage.
