A careful survey of modern poetry would testify that the exile well qualifies to set itself transformed into a metaphor. This article seeks to find out dissimilar forms of the exile in Akhtar uliman’s poems.  Akhtar uliman’s biography doesn’t mention any experience of exile or migration in literal sense of the words, but his Nazm seems embracing varied forms of exile. Why? Answer lies on one hand in epistemology of modernity that stresses necessarily on uprooting human self, on other hand in colonial and post industrial capitalist culture’s move of dehumanisation. Akhtar’s poetry is rooted in modernity and resistance to post industrial capitalist culture as well. Exile becomes a major theme and a concurring metaphor. The article interprets and analyses in detail multifaceted manifestations of the exile in Akhtar’s poems.
