Chughtai’s pictorial symbolism often refers to the romance of an absentee lover, rooted in the passionate verses of literary geniuses like Iqbal. Perhaps even more so, since both suffered from discontented consequences of unrequited love, which led to their idolisation of women as ethereal beings of intense mystery. Abdur Chugtai's paintings, conspicuously espoused the Islamic cosmopolitanism, envisioned by the prominent poet-philosopher Muhammad Iqbal. According to the art historian Akbar Naqvi he was “…. a painter who was committed to the imaginative provenance of the Persian Sufi and the Hindu mystical tradition of art which saw Reality disguised behind the infinite veils of appearances.”
