This research work explores the connection between nature and spirituality in Mazhar Nisar's poetry, focusing on his indigenous Sufi perspective as a means to inspire environmental awareness. Drawing on eco-critical theories by Lawrence Buell (1986) and Cheryll Glotfelty (1996), the research examines Nisar's anthology Mahogany Junction, where nature serves as both muse and mentor, guiding the "wayfarer" at the imaginary "Mahogany Junction" toward spiritual transcendence and divine love. Using qualitative textual analysis, the study investigates key motifs such as “whirling dervish,” “starry nights,” and “rain is the little girl” to highlight their eco-spiritual significance. The findings reveal a deep narrative of interconnectedness, underscoring nature's central role in both spiritual awakening and ecological preservation. The study recommends incorporating Nisar’s eco-spiritual themes into educational and literary discourse to promote environmental conservation and spiritual harmony.
