Memories of Faiz by Sabiha T. Aydelott (Faiz’ Niece)

This is a very unique article in memory of Faiz Ahmad Faiz, Pakistan’s foremost poet. It is penned by his niece Sabiha, who is the daughter of Faiz’s eldest brother, who died of heart attack soon after Faiz was jailed under accusation of Conspiracy. Faiz penned a moving poem about his brother’s death titled Noha, that begins with, “Mujhh ko Shikwa hay kerey Bhai kay tuum Jaatey huey”
