Faiz Ahmed Faiz was born in Sialkot, British India (now in Pakistan). Faiz was the son of Sultan Mohammed Khan who had risen from a poor shepherd to become a barrister through his scholastic prowess. His father though passed away in 1913. Iqbal is admired as a prominent poet by Pakistanis, Iranians and other international scholars of literature. Though Iqbal is best known as an eminent poet, he is also a highly acclaimed "Muslim philosophical thinker of modern times". His first poetry book, The Secrets of the Self, appeared in the Persian language in 1915, and other books of poetry include The Secrets of Selflessness, Message from the East and Persian Psalms. Among these, his best known Urdu works are The Call of the Marching Bell, Gabriel's Wing, The Rod of Moses and a part of Gift from Hijaz. Along with his Urdu and Persian poetry, his Urdu and English lectures and letters have been very influential in cultural, social, religious and political disputes. In 1962 he was awarded The Lenin Peace Prize by the former Soviet Union, a prize, which in the Socialist World had the same significance and esteem as the Nobel Peace Prize. While receiving the Lenin Peace Prize, Faiz recited a couplet of the Persian poet Hafez Shirazi, which perhaps in some ways embodies his thoughts; Maqta: The last couplet. It usually has the poet's name or pen name (Taquallus). My own Urdu pen name is Zahid.

If I understand things correctly, Miraji wrote the lines above after translating a verse by Sappho in which she said that her poems would be remembered in the future. I suspect both poets and both prophecies were correct!

As Faiz had already adopted socialist ideologies, due to his ideologies he was against Hitler and Nazism, also when Germany invaded the USSR he felt compelled to join the fight, he left this job and joined the British Indian Army as a Captain in 1942, he soon rose in the ranks and became Lieutenant Colonel in barely two years. In 1935 in London, some writers with socialist ideologies, set up The Progressive Writers' Movement. The Movement emphasized the writer's responsibilties towards spreading and promoting positive, healthy and just values through his writings. Faiz found himself in total agreement with the movement's views and goals and this started a new phase in his writing career. Faiz did not agree with the doctrine of art for art's sake, or that artistic and social values are things apart. Beauty did not have mere artistic value, but it also had a social and moral value. According to Faiz poetry was a struggle in which, art and life demanded participation according to one's abilities. The translation is loose but true to the original although I have taken some liberties to make it more comprehensible to an uninitiated reader.

In his poetry, Faiz incorporated both the values of beauty and social responsibilities. His message was couched in beautiful words with an almost wistful quality. That is why Faiz's poetry was unlike the writings of his contemporaries, with a style more mellifluous, his tone soft, his poems smooth and flowing, unlike the works of other poets which had a more stronger tone. NOTE: There is a legend that the great Urdu poet Mirza Ghalib offered all his diwan (poetry collections) in exchange for this one sher (couplet) by Momin Khan Momin. Does the couplet mean "be as close" or "be, at all"? Does it mean "You are with me in a way that no one else can ever be?" Or does it mean that no one else can ever exist as truly as one's true love? Or does this sher contain an infinite number of elusive meanings, like love itself? Faiz continued to write and publish poetry. in 1956, his fourth collection, Dast Tah-e-Sang, was published, the fifth one was, Sar-e-Waadi-e-Sina in 1965, then Shaam-e-Shahr-e-Yaaraan in 1971, followed by Merey Dil Merey Musafir, and finally the last one, Kalaam-e-Faiz in 1981.
