For your lanes, my country by Faiz Ahmed Faiz summary and Poem
Answers
Answer:With the help of this poem Faiz wants to convey his love,
devotion and respect for his nation but also point toward the
flows of today society. He believes his nation’s streets to be
sacred and in his poem he salute it.he also explain his nation as a
place where there is a ritual that no one shall walk with his head
high and the devotee should go to the pilgrims with their eyes
lowered and body couched in fear.
He doesn’t understand the logic beside humans being prisoned
inside brick and stone sculpture while stray dogs ae free to roam
everywhere. Here, he compare the life of human with a dog
where human are restricted with rules and customs whereas dogs
are breathing freely.
He doesn’t understand todays societies rules. He says those few
standing up with power to speak and bring changes are the same
person who give protection as well as prosecute and judgement.
He is confused to whom shall he expect protection and from
whom shall he expect judgements. Although this doesn’t affect
the peoples who know how to be happy by living their memories
day and night.
He also explain the beauty of his nation by comparing the stars
with sparkle in the hairs. He says when the windows of the same
prisons made up of bricks and stones where humans are bound
to live become dark that is when sun sets and moon rises stars
in the sky look like they are beautifully crafted in his nation’s
hairs and he also explain the beauty of sun rise by saying that he
know when the prison’s windows will be lighted again he could
see his nation’s face bathed in dawn. And then he said that he
lives in the memories of beautiful days and night while being
imprisoned in the walls made of bricks and stones.
This is how people fight opperesion by the memories. The
rituals are not new neither is poets ways

Answer:
Politics and history are said to be equivalent. At the worst of times, when disruption and change are the order of the day, so are politics and poetry. There can be no better example of this axiom in the 20th century than the poetry of Faiz Ahmad Faiz. He wrote, fertile and insistently, on the events that shaped the destiny of the subcontinent; apart from his enormous output as a poet, he also wrote newspaper editorials and articles and gave interviews on a range of subjects that, taken together, reveal a highly political mind beneath the poet’s persona and the amazing range of his concerns and interests.

Faiz brought a new internationalism to Urdu poetry, for though the Urdu poet of the turn of the century had spoken of tremors in the Muslim world, it was only insofar as it concerned the Muslims of India. I am qualified to feel that I am my brother’s keeper, and my brother is the whole of mankind. And this is the relevance to me of peace, freedom, détente and the elimination of the nuclear threat.
It is precisely for these – the insulted and the humiliated – that the solemn, sonorous, eminently sing-able Hum Dekhenge is written. It was written in 1979 in response to General Ziaul Haq’s repressive regime, it is as much a song for his own country reeling under a dictator as for people anywhere in the world fighting presecution. And that is why it has found a life beyond its own time and situation, as good poetry always does.
