"Essentially defining the poetic persona of Faiz are these three things — the play with metaphors, the delicate glow of verses as if they are spun out of shining silk threads, and the sensibility of a poet utterly undefeated by the contingencies of political winds, a poet who by dint of irony also happened to be a social activist. Most of the time these three elements are fully integrated into Faiz’s genius, so one cannot tell them apart."
Dr. Syed Nomanul Haq in "Chain, lyre, silk: recasting Faiz."
Urdu Poetry by Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Translations by Shoaib Hashmi, Design by Nadir Siddiqui & Faraz Amir
