Abstract
The study focuses on the themes of emancipation and freedom in a selected work of Faiz Ahmed Faiz's and Percy Bysshe Shelley's poetry. The aim of the study is to look at how they discuss freedom and liberation in their writing, as well as the various features of cultural differences. John Dewey theory of democracy is employed as a theoretical framework for the qualitative nature of the research. The study concludes that while both poets have similar reformist ideologies, have spoken out against oppression, injustice, and inequality, and have sparked a revolutionary notion of freedom among the people, there are cultural and expressional contrasts between them. Faiz Ahmed Faiz and P.B. Shelley both present the concepts of freedom and liberation in their selected poems, but their perspectives differ based on their cultural and historical contexts. The poems reflect the poet’s deep engagement with the social and political issues of their time and their commitment to promoting social justice and equality. P.B. Shelley sheds light on the corruption of the societal institutions, while Faiz Ahmed Faiz casts aside personal love to illuminate the darker side of reality and poverty.
