Abstract

Dastan-e-Ameer Hamza is rightly considered one of the literary masterpieces in Urdu literature. This is a great treatise of style, imagination and fantasy. Because of the several writers of the Dastan, its style is very diverse: both simple and colorful. It presents a true picture of Lakhnavi society. Though its origin is Persian yet it is in harmony with the essence of Urdu culture and civilization. The critics have suggested that it addresses its era's bitterness, apprehensions of life and death, aesthetic and mystic concerns, and cultural and civilized life.  The historical, cultural, social, lingual and literary standards have been elucidated in the article in view of the critiques of Dastan-e-Ameer Hamza. These exploratory and critical views are a valuable addition to this Dastan.
