Nasir Kazmi’s poetry was examined in both 2024 and 2025. The 2024 question asked whether Mir’s influence could be seen in his ghazals, while the 2025 paper looked at how Kazmi used Mir’s sorrowful style to express the troubles of his own time. Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi’s Kapas Ka Phool also appeared in these two papers. Candidates had to give a critical review of the collection in 2024, but the following year the question dealt with his portrayal of village life in Punjab. The 2025 paper also included Faiz’s Dast-e-Saba and Mushtaq Ahmad Yousufi’s humour. By 2026, the questions had moved towards Iqbal’s ideas of selfhood and nationhood, Majid Amjad’s use of nature, and the moral conflicts found in Manto’s stories. One particularly different question appeared in the essay section, where candidates could discuss the opportunities and problems artificial intelligence presents for the Urdu language.
