It is easy to understand others poet’s poetry who writes of love but Dr Azam is complex.

Which means that Dr. Azam has truly depicted a complete picture of his society and had uncovered the ugliest one’s to reveal the reality of society. In conclusion, if his poetry is imitating a true picture of society same his prose has the ability to portray it well.
