Re: Ik Fursat e gunah mili wo bhi chaar din
Despite being repeatedly accused of atheism by the political and military establishment](The Establishment (Pakistan) - Wikipedia), Faiz’s poetry suggested a more nuanced relationship with religion in general and with Islam in particular. He was, in fact, greatly inspired by both secular poetry and South Asia’s Sufi traditions. His popular ghazal Hum Dekhenge is an example of how he fused these interests..
Faiz Ahmad Faiz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On the sensitive issue of Faiz’s religion Abedi shows that despite his Marxist inclinations he remained a Muslim and often drew on Islamic themes in his poetry. He had memorized around three parts of the Holy Qur’an in his childhood and regretted later that he couldn’t do it in its entirety due to the strain in his eyes. His first public appearance was at the age of five as a qari at the annual function of Anjuman-e-Islamia. From the age of eight to the year he first went to college he would regularly pray at the local mosque and listen to dars of Maulana Ibrahim Sialkoti. He had even completed a yearlong course of Jamia Ashrafia taught by Mufti Muhammad Hussain.
All his life events, including his marriage to Ellis Catherine, were conducted according to Islamic rites. He himself claimed, and this was testified by others, that he would give lessons of Qur’an and hadith to fellow prisoners. The strict categorization of Faiz into the “Communist camp” limits one’s understanding of his multidimensional personality. Perhaps his religious inclinations are best represented in his claim (in a letter to his wife) that he was an “inhibited sufi.”
His Islamic identity came into full force in his poetry when during the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 he wrote his famous nazm ‘Sirr Wadi-e-Sina.’ His other nazm “Mujaideen-e-Falstin Kay Naam” has Quranic verses interspersed throughout: “Haqqa hum jeetengay/Qad jaa al Haq wa zahqal batil.” His nazm on the Islamic revolution in Iran has the title from the Qur’anic verse “Wa Yabqa Wajhu Rabbik.” Abedi brings to light the much neglected religious poetry of Faiz including hamd, naat, and marsiya.
