The Idea of Resistance in the Poetry of Faiz Ahmad Faiz and Agha Shahid Ali

<p>Writers, who resist indomitable<br>ideologies, always share excruciating and<br>coercive experiences through immaculate<br>words. They share the traumatic past and<br>present with the hope that they may<br>change the course of struggle and<br>inequality in the future. The written<br>words of Faiz Ahmed Fiaz and Agha<br>Shahid Ali have exposed the ideologies<br>which victimized innocent in the name of<br>the welfare state and society. Hence, they<br>do not take swords and guns to face the<br>antagonist but use powers of pen that<br>have always been mightier to articulate<br>the message. It is one, perhaps, the best<br>form of resistance. The present paper<br>deals with the idea of resistance that is<br>prominent in the poetry of Faiz Ahmad<br>Faiz and Agha Shahid Ali. Both the bards<br>sing about the miseries and sufferings of<br>their society, which have similarities in<br>tone and expression. </p>
