ISLAMABAD, Feb 18: Faiz Ahmad Faiz was called a symbol of Pakistan’s cultural identity, as glowing tributes were paid to the great poet at a conference jointly organized by the National Institute of Pakistan Studies, Quaid-i-Azam University, Daira, and Majlis-i-Faiz Ahmad Faiz to celebrate his birth anniversary.
Jalil Aali called the poetry of Faiz a continuation of the diction of the great literary and social tradition of Urdu poetry that had not only made him immortal but also won over his critics, who would recite his couplets to emphasize their arguments on various subjects.
He said people like Iqbal and Faiz were opposed by critics in the beginning (so much so that, according to Dr Mirza’s research, there was even talk of banning Iqbal in one of the sessions of the Anjuman-i-Tarraqi Pasand Mussanafin, from which Faiz walked out in protest).

Faiz Ahmed Faiz (1914-1978) hardly needs an introduction: he may well be this century's most important Urdu poet, and I am certainly not alone in preferring him to Iqbal.
Faiz, a militant Marxist, was one of the founders of and foremost figures in the influential Progressive (taraqqi pasand) Writers Movement of the Indian Subcontinent, which was characterized by an accessible and freshly realist style, a leftist ideology and a fusion of the lyric and the political.
After the conference a few of us continued discussing Faiz by email, and I was struck by one scholar's remark that the images of desolation and intense loneliness in "Tanhai" impelled her to read it as a political statement.

Faiz Ahmed Faiz (1911-1984) was one of the leading, if not the foremost, poet of the Indian subcontinent during the greater part of the last century.
Of Faiz’s multifaceted personality, which led him to become, amongst other things, an activist for human rights and liberties, a famous journalist and editor of literary magazines (Urdu & Others), trade unionist, and film song writer, it is his poetry which will, no doubt, best survive the test of time.
Apart from inventing the modern Urdu love poem, Faiz revolutionized the classical form of Urdu poetry, the Ghazal, giving it a powerful socio-political resonance.
