Marxist Aesthetics in Romantic Poetry of Faiz اورنگ زیب نیازی

فیض کی رومانی شاعری اور مارکسی جمالیات

Abstract

Faiz Ahmed Faiz is the most prominent poet among the progressive urdu poets of his era due to his unique style and poetic treatment.Contrary to the general progressive approach he adopted an entirely different romantic way to express his thoughts and idealogy.For this reason he was also criticised by his contemporaray progressive critics.The difference between Faiz and other progressive poets is in fact the difference of Classical marxism and Leninist marxism.Classical marxism does not ignore the aesthetic values of literature,while the Lenin marxism prioritizes  just idealogy.The romantic poetry of Faiz is actually an insistence on beauty against the cruelty and injustice of society,and it is it self a form of resistance.In the article under review, a poem'farsh e nomeedi e dedar" by Faiz Ahmed Faiz studied especially to highlight the Fiaz,s point view about Marxist aesthetics and his unique approach.
