Poems Of Faiz Ahmad Faiz: A Poet Of The Third World (Oriental Literature In Translation)

4.4/5 ( ratings)

The poetry of Faiz Ahmad Faiz, the most acclaimed modern Urdu poet, shows how a soft mellowed diction can effectively depict the intense feelings of a hardcore pre-perestroika activist of international repute. With all his commitment, Faiz remains essentially a poet, a true one. He talks of 'the whiplash-marks of the hellish noon of torture' becoming 'rainbow-arcs-within-arcs' on the bodies of the helpless suffering people, of their tongueless, sorrows and grief and anger, and also of the leaping up crimson of the beloved's lips beyond the gallows'. Faiz is always ennobling and remarkable as his voice comes to be a culturing voice of The Third World.

These translations bear out the softness as well as the poignancy of the original. Retention of the original imagery and idiom adds up to a new expressional hue in English.
