The 105th birth anniversary of one of the most influential intellectual, revolutionary and most famous poet of the Urdu language, Faiz Ahmed Faiz is being observed today.
Faiz Ahmed Faiz was born in 1911 in Sialkot. He began his career as a lecturer in English at Amritsar.
After the Second World War, he turned to journalism and distinguished himself as the editor of The Pakistan Times.
As a poet, Faiz began writing on the conventional themes of love and beauty, but soon these conventional themes get submerged in the larger social and political issues of the day.
