Abstract

Enver Sajjad is well-known in the Urdu world as a short story writer, novelist and a playwright. He served as the first chairman of the Alhambra Arts Council (1973-1975) and recieved the Pride of Performance award in 1989. This article presents an analytical study of his first—yet unpublished—stage drama, Ēk thī Malikā. It reveals him as a unique stage drama writer whose symbolism ranges from social evils on one end to political oppression on the other. Through his unique style, he innovated the genre on many levels and presented a complete picture of his times despite limited resources.
