Between Revolution and Romance: The Poetry of Faiz Ahmed Faiz

Faiz Ahmed Faiz was the last great poet of ideas from South Asia forming, within the Urdu tradition, the Trinity of Ghalib-Allama Iqbal- Faiz. Adil at All Things Pakistan has a wonderful collection of Faiziana on his birth anniversary and remarks about his poetry:

Something that helps us express what we really feel but are unable to articulate. Something that helps us explain what we could not understand. Something that forces us to confront what we would much rather ignore. Something that rises above our fears and speaks to our hopes.
