Archetype is a term in psychology and anthropology; this is a combination of conscious and unconscious; with the help of this unconscious, all nations are connected. It is the reason for the creation of myths, giant beads, symbols, and folk stories. This world is the world of the archetype in as much as it contains nothing that is not an archetype. It could indeed be said that most of the problems of modernity result from ignorance of archetypes. A man should therefore understand what that means because, without such understanding, he would fail to understand himself. It is a term that is also used in Urdu literature. The concept of archetype is with every writer. Ali M. Farshi is a modern Urdu poet. Modernity is a very important and multi-meaning term that was initially considered synonymous with westernization. Modernity in the subcontinent entered in the form of translation and Punjab Association. Ali Farshi's concept of archetypes used in his poems is covered in this research article.
