Abstract

This research article explores the pivotal role of the quarterly literary journal Sahifa in the realm of Urdu translations of Western short stories. Over the years, Sahifa has significantly contributed to the enrichment of Urdu literature by bringing translated works of renowned global authors to its readership. The journal’s translations not only broadened the cultural and literary horizons of Urdu readers but also deepened their understanding of universal themes, including human psychology, social issues, and moral dilemmas. By analyzing key stories translated and published in Sahifa, this paper highlights the journal's unique contribution to bridging Western and Urdu literary traditions. The study examines various translators’ efforts, the challenges they faced, and the impact of these translations on the growth of modern Urdu literature. Through this research, the role of Sahifa in promoting cross-cultural literary exchange and its influence on the evolution of Urdu storytelling is thoroughly assessed.
