Faiz had tremendous sympathy for the suffering of the people. While he was teaching at the M. A. O. College he became friendly with the Vice Principal Sahabzada Mehmood-uz-Zafar and his wife, Dr. Rasheeda Jahan. Both were committed socialists and lovers of literature as well. Under their influence Faiz's poetry underwent a tremendous change. The other influence on him was The Progressive Writers' Movement. A Ghazal has five rules and it is one of the most difficult forms of poetry but is independent of any particual language. This one is in Urdu, the language in which ghazals are most commonly written..

In 1935 in London, some writers with socialist ideologies, set up The Progressive Writers' Movement. The Movement emphasized the writer's responsibilties towards spreading and promoting positive, healthy and just values through his writings. Faiz found himself in total agreement with the movement's views and goals and this started a new phase in his writing career. Faiz did not agree with the doctrine of art for art's sake, or that artistic and social values are things apart. Beauty did not have mere artistic value, but it also had a social and moral value. According to Faiz poetry was a struggle in which, art and life demanded participation according to one's abilities.Allama Iqbal is sher mein logo ki dastan biyan kerty hain kh logo apni wah wah ke ley dosron ke ghibat kerny se nahi katraty.

Faiz did his inter-mediate from Murray College, Sialkot, and B.A, in 1931, from Government College, Lahore. Two years later he did his Masters in English and followed it with an M.A. in Arabic as well. While at Murray College he started writing poetry once more. His poetry of this period though was conformist poetry and about the more common subjects like love. NOTE: This poignant poem was written about the 1947 partition of India into two nations: India and Pakistan. I take the following poem to be about the aftermath of the division.In his poetry, Faiz incorporated both the values of beauty and social responsibilities. His message was couched in beautiful words with an almost wistful quality. That is why Faiz's poetry was unlike the writings of his contemporaries, with a style more mellifluous, his tone soft, his poems smooth and flowing, unlike the works of other poets which had a more stronger tone. Like most Muslim children of the sub-continent Faiz began his education by learning to read and memorize the Quran in Arabic, at four years of age. He attained his primary education at Moulvi Ibrahim Sialkoti's famous school and studied Urdu, Persian and Arabic. Later he joined the Scotch Mission High School. He passed his matriculation examination from there in 1927. During this time he was also learning Arabic and Persian from Moulvi Syed Meer Hasan. Faiz started writing poetry while at school but was not encouraged by his family and so he gave it up. She glanced down disdainfully, then pouted: "What are these bizarre things? I have no use for them!"

Faiz continued to write and publish poetry. in 1956, his fourth collection, Dast Tah-e-Sang, was published, the fifth one was, Sar-e-Waadi-e-Sina in 1965, then Shaam-e-Shahr-e-Yaaraan in 1971, followed by Merey Dil Merey Musafir, and finally the last one, Kalaam-e-Faiz in 1981.

Poetry of allama iqbal in english proving that love truly is a universal language! Urdu poetry is notable for its highly romantic images, evocative metaphors, emotional content, depth of feeling, Prison life, like love, is itself a fundamental experience which opens up a new vista of thoughts and insight. The first thing is that, like the dawn of love, all the sensations are again aroused and the mistiness of the early morning and evening, the blue of the sky, the gentleness of the breeze return with the same sense of wonder. And the second thing that happens is that the time and distances of the outside world are negated; the sense of distance and nearness is obliterated in such a way that a single moment weighs on the mind like the day of judgement and sometime the occurrences of a century seem to be like the happenings of yesterday. The third thing is that in the vastness of separation, one gets more time for reading and thinking and for decorating the bride of creativity."

When I returned, staggering under their weight, my love was relaxing in her garden, idly tearing leaves from flowers. Once again his own words explain his feelings well " In this school the first lesson we learnt was that to think of separating oneself from the world is, in the first place, useless. This is so because the experiences around us necessarily affected us. The self of a human being, despite all its loves, troubles, joys and pains, is a tiny, limited and humble thing. The measure of the vastness of life is the whole universe. Thus the agony of love and the agony of time are two aspects of one experience. If the wreath lies unwoven, who cares? If the bracelet is unfastened, let it fall. The sky grows dark; it is late.
