description: Naomi Lazard was a friend of the poet who worked closely with him on this translation from the Urdu in the years immediately before his death. In this bilingual edition of Faiz's mature work, she captures his universal appeal: a voice of great pathos, charm, and authenticity that has until now been little known in the English-speaking world.
