Sarwat Hussain is one of those Urdu Poets who are believed to be the most modern in terms of their look and countenance, not merely among their coevals and contemporaries but also in comparison with the arena of the previous era and they are recognized as “trendsetters”. Sarwat’s work still needs to be appreciated in a due manner. Although his Ghazals are equally significant, they aren't discussed here as this essay is solely an attempt to encompass different aspects of his novelty in his poetry and esp. in his metric/rhythmic poems and for this purpose, many of his important poems are analyzed and valued critically keeping his topics, techniques, and diction in view. Studying these poems’ text required both textual and contextual ways, and both are followed. Modern Poetry usually contains various layers of meanings and its decoding calls for a continuous process of envisaging the innate and distinctive characteristics of the poet’s demeanor which takes time and so is Sarwat’s case that his due appreciation not just hadn’t been possible before his untimely death but it is still awaited. This essay is an endeavor, a strive to pay the debt which is overdue by now.
