摘要：A poet is a person who more often than not looks beyond the barriers of time and space. The hallmarkof pure poetry is the height of imagination; imagination which generates vision. Vision is the insight tosee beyond the concrete, the physical. The journey from physical to metaphysical shapes the focus ofthe poets to say the unsaid and unsay able with quite ease. This marks the universality in art. Thesuppression of art is not a new phenomenon. The powerful and civilized have always used the tools ofcivilization to colonize the ever sounding universal thought on one hand whereas erected barriersbetween the vision and universal art to mark the superiority of their self on the other.The present paper will explore the thematic unity, similarities and dissimilarities in approach of twogreat writers; Waris Shah and William Shakespeare. Despite their social, cultural geographical andreligious differences, there is much which they share as common because of the universality inliterature. In this research the critical comparison of the two writers has been tried in order to find outthe outweighing genius of the one over the other. This study makes use of socio-cultural, literary andtheoretical perspectives to unveil the matter. It is a text based literary research with thematic approachalso using secondary sources (criticism) with analytical research design
