Comparative Study of Progressive Thought in the Poetry of Faiz Ahmed Faiz and Shaikh Ayaz
Abstract
Faiz Ahmed Faiz and Shaikh Ayaz are the two bright stars
of Pakistani Literature whose literary status is significant for
their individual merits. As Faiz is a prominent and unique poet
in Urdu so is Ayaz’s position equally important and groundbreaking in Sindhi and urdu poetry.
Faiz and Ayaz are largely the advocates of the same
intellectual, artistic, literary and cultural traditions and at the
same time, they witnessed the same political and social
conditions and faced the same exploiting and repressing forces
of their era. That is why there are many similarities in their
poetry and thought but their expression, style, imagination and
creative approach is highly individual. Faiz Ahmed Faiz is not
only considered an eminent poet in Pakistani literature but also
his personality and poetic position have been acknowledged in
the west. In the poetry of Shaikh Ayaz also along with the
essence of local folk and classical traditions, there is the
aesthetic influence of the Arabic, Persian and Hindi poetry.
Moreover, one can find in his poetry many shades of western
liberal, progressive and humanitarian thought.
The poetry of both Faiz and Ayaz basically projects the
ideas of human dignity and freedom.
In this paper after discussing the key common aspects of
the poetry of Faiz and Ayaz and comparatively analyzing their
progressive trends, it has been tried to reveal the similarities of
thought, modern approaches and individual merits in their
poetry.
