The title “Nutq” (نُطق) literally translates to speech, utterance, or the power of expression.
The work serves as a poetic collection that bridges traditional Sufi sensibilities, humanism, and modern poetic expression. It explores themes of human emotion, inner self-reflection, love, and socio-literary values through structured chapters featuring ghazals, nazms, and mahiyas
Nutq is a landmark collection of poetry by Qaim Naqvi that gracefully bridges classical Sufi sensibilities, humanism, and modern poetic expression. Following his earlier work Zad-e-Hijr, this volume marks a new creative evolution, characterized by deeper emotional resonance, rich symbolism, and diverse poetic forms such as ghazals, nazms, mahiyas, and geets. The poems explore the complexities of human existence, socio-political realities, inner self-reflection, and the pursuit of truth and light amidst turbulent times.
Originally compiled to capture the shifting dynamics of classical thought, this piece offers readers an unparalleled side-by-side linguistic journey. Each page preserves the raw manuscript formatting alongside its refined English translations, ensuring nothing is lost in translation. Every single stanza has been preserved in its true aesthetic layout, cross-checked carefully against original historical editions to maintain strict authentic integrity for modern academic audiences.

Prof. Sahar Ansari (پروفیسر سحر انصاری)
“After ‘Zad-e-Hijr’, ‘Nutq’ represents a new turning point in Qaim Naqvi’s poetry, showcasing greater emotional depth and symbolism. The poet refines his creative craft through the interplay of worldly grief and spiritual devotion. I am confident that ‘Nutq’ will be widely appreciated across all literary circles.”
Ahmed Nadeem Qasmi (احمد ندیم قاسمی)
“Qaim Naqvi is a promising and sensitive young poet of the new generation. He has traversed many milestones of imaginative innovation and expression. His thematic diversity is delightful, deeply influenced by his command over both Urdu and modern Punjabi poetry.”
Tariq Zaidi (طارق زیدی)
“Qaim Naqvi holds a prominent identity in the world of Urdu and Punjabi literature. His poetry bridges individual concerns with collective consciousness, reflecting hope, humanism, love, and progressive values without losing its refined artistic grace.”
