News at Eleven: [Faiz Ahmed] Faiz used the emotion of

love to artistically describe the conditions of his country and nation under tyranny and personified the country as beloved in his poetry and thus carried it further to describe the conditions of exile synonymous with the Hijr (Separation). [Ahmed] Faraz carried this tradition further and associated the passion of love with the collective feelings of youth and then harmonising it to depict the bitterness, weariness, tyranny, exploitation, injustice and double standards.
