Faiz Ahmed Faiz is widely regarded as the greatest Urdu poet of the twentieth century, and the iconic voice of a generation. Although he is best remembered for his revolutionary verses that decried tyranny and called for justice, his oeuvre also extended to scintillating, soulful poems of love. In this remarkable selection of Faiz's most memorable poems and ghazals, readers will be able to experience a new dimension of the great poet's genius. Along with popular favourites like 'Subh-e Azaadi' with its anguished evocation of the horror and pain of Partition, 'The colours of my heart' also introduces readers to little-known gems that display Faiz's extraordinary flair for tender hope and quiet longing. A rich cornucopia of delights, 'The colours of my heart' celebrates Faiz's greatest work. Baran Farooqi's superb translation is accompanied by an illuminating introduction to Faiz's incredible life and enduring legacy.
