More Transgressions: Poems inspired by Faiz Ahmed Faiz

Faiz Ahmed Faiz is considered among the most popular modern poets of Urdu. The poems in this collection are inspired by his poetry. Each poem corresponds to one by Faiz but is not a translation of it. Rather it reflects the author's thoughts on the theme of the poem. Anjum Altaf is a South Asian living in Lahore. "Like the genle morning breeze which catches you unawares and which Faiz has spoken of so often, these renderings by Anjum Altaf embody the promise of the day to come..." - Salima Hashmi, artist
