Synopsis

Faiz Ahmed Faiz is widely regarded as the greatest Urdu poet of the twentieth century and the iconic voice of a generation. Although he is best remembered for his revolutionary verses that decried tyranny and called for justice, his oeuvre also extended to scintillating, soulful poems of love. In this remarkable selection of Faiz s most memorable poems and ghazals, readers will be able to experience a new dimension of the great poet s genius. Along with popular favourites like Subh-e Azadi , with its anguished evocation of the horror and pain of the Partition, The Colours of My Heart also introduces readers to little-known gems that display Faiz s extraordinary flair for tender hope and quiet longing. A rich cornucopia of delights, The Colours of My Heart celebrates Faiz s greatest work. Baran Farooqi s superb translation is accompanied by an illuminating introduction to Faiz s incredible life and enduring legacy

À propos de l'auteur

Faiz Ahmad Faiz (1912 1984) was one of the most exemplary poets of the Indian subcontinent. His poetic voice, full of revolutionary fervour and also revolutionary melancholy, tugged at the heart of the Urdu reader particularly because he filled his poetry with words used mostly in pre-modern ghazals which have a resonance of their own. Faiz was able to convey the message of revolution without compromising the delicate subtlety of Urdu literary vocabulary. He published eight volumes of poetry in his lifetime. His popularity remains undiminished even now
