This article discusses the major theme of Majīd Amjad’s naẓm, i.e.,  the modern man’s place in the infinite universe of ‘Time’. The new naẓm posed the question of ‘who is this being?’ This led to the search for man’s identity and put forward several related concerns such as man’s disconnect with his roots, his nationhood and his Creator. The first two were a result of the cultural influx of alien powers, whereas man’s relationship with the Divine was influenced by the emphasis on individualism. Mīrajī in his poetry is concerned with these issues whereas Majīd Amjad focuses on man’s position and place in the ever changing universe of time and space.
