was the year that changed the history of the sub-continent as well as the lives of many of its people. This was the year when India not only finally got its independence from Britain but it was also partitioned into mainly Hindu India and Muslim Pakistan. The much longed for independence brought in its wake turmoil and violent conflict. Hindus and Muslims who had fought for independence side by side suddenly were now fighting each other. Blood flowed on both sides. Punjab and Bengal were split into half. Lahore and Sialkot now both became a part of The Punjab which was given to Pakistan. In Faiz's own words "the period between 1920 and 1930 constituted a state of carelessness, prosperity and exuberance, in which along with important national and political movements, in prose and poetry, there was an element of light heartedness, along with serious thinking and observation……………. In this atmosphere there was also the wonder of the beginning of love but we had just a glimpse of this period, when we reached the end of love's companionship."

I suspect both poets and both prophecies were correct!In 1951 Faiz was arrested, he was accused as being a co-conspirator in the Rawalpindi Conspiracy Case. In truth though, Faiz was merely acquainted with the military officers who had been planning a coup to overthrow the civilian government. The chief conspirator Akbar Khan, was a friend of a poet friend of Faiz; Sajjad Zaheer, who was also a founder member of the Progressive Writer's Movement and through this poet, Faiz had met the army officers planning the coup. Unfortunately for him it was an ill fated acquaintance, for Faiz too was arrested along with the army officers when the conspiracy came to light. He almost received the death sentence but later he was awarded a much lesser sentence of two and a half years. Along with the time he had spent in prison during his trial, Faiz spent four years in jail.
