Sahil Mudasir, a young poet and writer, hails from a hamlet, Melhora in Shopian, He is a teacher by profession and has recently authored publication titled ‘secrets of an occupied heart’ and ‘ The Shadows’.
He is also the co-author of more than 8 books and knows how to use a pen properly to attract the reader’s attention. Reading his poetry, one can feel the pain and sufferings the poet has gone through. His poetry is conscious and profound mainly reflecting the environment in which he lives.
His latest book ‘ The Shadows’, talks about the pain and sufferings of people. It takes the reader to the human world where everything is shattered and broken, One can feel the gloomy atmosphere and disturbance caused by some mighty powers.
Mudasir’s poems are cries of a sensitive heart, bleeding at the plight of his beleaguered land, where, to his utter horror, he finds the paralyzed earth, fragmented into baked chunks singing ballads of servitude and demagogues callously demarcating people into unknown sects.
Speaking to The Kashmiriyat, Shahid said that, “There are indeed poems of hope and resurrection amidst these irruptions and intercessions. Themes of nature and beauty, feminism, love and loss, pangs of separation, nostalgia, frustration, expectations, and hope, the futility of wars, solitude, can also be seen in the book.”
His poems are leaves bruised by autumn, waiting for the healing touch, which will, someday hopefully, resurrect his lost paradise. ‘ The Shadows’ is undoubtedly a valuable contribution to the world of literature.
