THE DIVERSE ASPECTS OF ROMANTIC AND SOCIALIST METAPHORIZATION IN FAIAZ AHMAD FAIZ'S POETRY

Abstract

Faiz Ahmed Faiz is one of those lucky poets of the twentieth century who got immense fame, popularity, greatness and love in his lifetime. He tasted the taste of the sword and the rope and enjoyed the colors of the poor. He was a student of Allama Iqbal's teacher, Maulvi Mir Hassan, and he also had the honor of studying with Yousaf Saleem Chishti. But he could not become Iqbal. Iqbal considered Islam a revolutionary religion and Islam through Islam. While Faiz dreamed of revolution through communism. This difference comes out very clearly in the poetry of both of them. When Faiz regained consciousness and started writing poetry, a wave of romanticism had come at that time. Poets like Josh and Ehsan Danish were busy building imaginary paradises under romanticism. The literary tradition was burdened by Jigar, Asghar, Hasrat and Dagh. Akhtar-ul-Iman, N.M. Rashid, and Meeraji were playing the murli of their individuality in the guise of poetry. When Faiz began his academic life, he studied Marxism in Amritsar under the influence of Sahibzada Mahmud-ul-Zafar and his wife Rashida Jahan. Later, when the Progressive Movement was launched, Faiz was among its founding members. Despite enduring thousands of hardships and going through the stages of imprisonment and torture, Faiz neither flexed his ideas nor turned away. At a time when the doors of his homes were closed and the doors of prisons were opened on the Progressives, Faiz remained associated with this movement, which shows that Faiz believed in loyalty subject to stability. Faiz was eager to bring about such a revolution in society that would completely change the existing exploitative system. He believed in a classless system.

Ghazal suffered greatly under the influence of the Progressive Movement, but Faiz also adopted the form of Ghazal to express progressive ideas. And instead of writing political resistance poems, he wrote Ghazals. Because he believed that political and resistance literature had a very short lifespan.
