5. Interpretation
• Another great poet born on the land of Iqbal, he was also called by the name of second
Iqbal, whose poetry is the cause of revolution. Faiz Ahmed Faiz in his famous ghazal says
to his beloved:
O beloved, do not try your half drawn arrow on my heart because I have lost my heart
who is tired from the griefs and sorrows and so please don’t test me and save the stones
that you have brought for me because there is useless to kill me again.
I am in this world for a few days, and after a few days I’m giving up in the face of your
victimization and say goodbye to this world forever.
In other words, the poet has mentioned the sorrows and griefs given by Mehboob that
Mehboob has inflicted so much misery on me that my heart has hardened and my body
has been shattered by wounds.

11. Interpretation
• Keep the burial shroud atilt on (my) forehead, lest my assassin may have misgivings
(that) Pride of self-importance or arrogance of love, I forgot after death.
This is typical of Faiz’s style. After expressing despondency and defeat he shows
defiance. A bent cap or as in Urdu poetry called kaj kulahi is a sign of self-
importance or in case of a figure of authority a symbol of arrogance (like the kulah
of Nawab of Kalabagh). So he asks that his burial shroud be placed atilt on his
forehead so that his assassins may not have the comfort or satisfaction of knowing
that they have made him humble in death. No, he does not want to surrender even
in death. He is as defiant in death as he was in life. They killed his body not his soul.

13. Interpretation
• In this poem the poet says that the lover is true in his own matters and he
will never deviate from that path – His love and Devotion is true but he is
unlucky.He does not receive the love that he deserves in returns
But the persecution is that the beloved avoids and stays away from him –
Beloved
Does not pay attention.
• Beloved is heartless .

15. Interpretation
• In the commentary, the poet describes his perseverance in achieving his lofty goals
and lofty goals. The holder of any great destiny has to show steadfastness and
perseverance for his destiny. And the intentions of such people are advertised and
they are the ones who succeed. Socrates was a famous Greek philosopher. He
raised his voice against the order and raised the slogan of justice However, the cup
of poison put him to eternal sleep. But it is noteworthy that before his death, his
supporters were a few young people, but after his death, a large section of Greece
became his supporters. Whether or not Socrates himself is in a state of separation,
instead of sacrificing his life, he adopted his own ideas.
