Ethical Concepts in Saib's Diwan

Literature is integrated with ethics and ethical teachings. In fact, reflections of ethicalconcepts are central to the works of many poets and writers. Saib is one of those poets whose sonnets are replete with supreme ethical implications.This paper attempts to explore certain ethical underpinnings of Saib's divan (collectionof poems) that are somehow inspired by Koranic verses. It also aims to show that apart from literary subtleties, Saib has not been inattentive to this invaluable resource and has both overtly and covertly drawn on the words of Koran for exegesis of his ethical perspectives.
