Faiz Ahmed Faiz (فيض احمد فيض),
(1984 - 1911) is considered by many to be a poet in the great tradition of Urdu
poets like Ghalib and Iqbal. He was born in Sialkot, in the Punjab of
pre-independence India (now Pakistan). After the partition of 1947, he decided
to live in Pakistan, and died in Lahore. Faiz was a member of the Anjuman
Tarraqi Pasand Mussanafin-e-Hind (Progressive Writers' Movement), and an avowed
Marxist. In 1962 he was awarded the Lenin Peace Prize by the Soviet Union.
In the 1930s Faiz Ahmed Faiz married Alys Faiz, a British woman. They had two
daughters. Alys Faiz's influence on Faiz's life and poetry is reputed to have
been great.
Khvaab-baseraa
is vaqt to yuu.N lagataa hai ab kuchh bhii nahii.n hai
mahataab na suuraj na a.Ndheraa na saveraa
aa.Nkho.n ke dariiche me.n kisii husn kii jhalakan
aur dil kii panaaho.n me.n kisii dard kaa Deraa
mumkin hai ko_ii vaham ho mumkin hai sunaa ho
galiyo.n me.n kisii chaap kaa ek aaKhirii pheraa
shaaKho.n me.n Khayaalo.n ke ghane pe.D kii shaayad
ab aake karegaa na ko_ii Khvaab baseraa
ik bair na ik mahar na ik rabt na rishtaa
teraa ko_ii apanaa na paraayaa ko_ii meraa
maanaa ki ye sun-saan gha.Dii saKht ba.Dii hai
lekin mere dil ye to faqat ek gha.dii hai
himmat karo jiine ko abhii umr pa.Dii hai
