Through these beautiful verses, we explore themes of love, both physical and metaphysical, philosophy, folklore, and tradition through different narrative devices, such as nazms, masnavis, and vatsuns.

His vatsuns (lyrical poems) and masnavis (narrative poems) such as 'Yusuf Zulaykha', 'Khusrau Shi¯ ri¯ n', 'Layla Majnun' and 'Sheikh San'a¯ n' have rightly been acclaimed as significant contributions to Kashmiri poetry.
