Understanding Faiz is an uphill task -Bhari Pathar- and translating in English more difficult- Parvez accepted the challenge and did justice to it so said Dr Tasleem Elahi Zulfi renowned author, friend of Faiz- during Faiz's stay at Berut Lebnon to facilitate latter's meeting with late Yasir Arafat- broadcaster SSTV Canada in his Book Review slot in Urdu Show in dedicated one hour program on the book.Faiz Ahmed Faiz is a legendary Urdu poet who has authored many a poetry collection including Zindan Nama, Sar e Wade seena etc. Perusing and searching whole work in Kulyat e Faiz this translator selected one hundred ghazals (odes) strong in appeal, popular and melodious and others having message of revolution for masses victimized and persecuted. The poetry of the legend is very popular not only in Pakistan but also in rest of the world where the forces of oppression and injustice are in power and enjoy and wield all the resources by virtue of their state power, its institutions like police, judiciary as was in France before revolution.The work has been taken up to wake up these downtrodden classes to effect revolution in Pakistan to achieve the goal of new and just Pakistan for which Imran Khan has been making strenuous efforts in public rallies, in courts and on roads. This work is not merely a translation its purpose is to bring about change in the mindset of Pakistanis.
