"As a poet, Faiz began writing on the conventional themes of love and beauty, but soon these conventional themes get submerged in the larger social and political issues of the day. The traditional griefs of love get fused with the travails of the afflicted humanity, and Faiz uses his poetry to champion the cause of socialistic humanism. Consequently, the familiar imagery of a love-poet acquires new meanings in the hands of Faiz...This turning away from romance to realism is beautifully suggested in his poem (a nazm), "mujh se pehli si mohabbat meri mahboob na maang."In the matter of diction and style, Faiz may be called the inheritor of the tradition of Ghalib. His admiration for Ghalib is also reflected in the title of his first published work, 'Naqsh-e-Faryadi', which comes straight from the opening line of the first ghazal of Diwan-e-Ghalib.Although he has written poems in a simple, conversational style, he has a marked preference for polished, Persianised diction, the diction of the elite rather than of the commoners. But because of the universality of his thought and sympathetic vision, and because of his perfect handling of the ghazal, his poetry is read and admired in both parts of the Indian sub-continent.Faiz is a "committed" poet who regards poetry as a vehicle of serious thought, and not a mere pleasurable pastime. He does not accept the maxim of "art for art's sake". An admirer of Karl Marx and a poet of the people, Faiz was honoured by Soviet Russia with the prestigious Lenin Award for Peace and his poems have been translated into the Russian language. His poetical collections include Naqsh-e-Faryadi (1943), Dast-e-Saba (1952), Zindan-Nama (1956) and Dast-e-Tah-e-Sang (1965)." - www.msci.memphis.eduThe above mentioned works of Faiz, namely; Naqsh-e-Faryadi (1943), Dast-e-Saba (1952), Zindan-Nama (1956) and Dast-e-Tah-e-Sang (1965) and others are part of this collection.

Sawaal  12. Zarb (Instrumental) Album Review:After a series of delays AaroHs debut album, Sawaal was finally released on the 22nd of Sept 2003. The response was massive, proving to all that the demand for AaroHs music is ascending, and understandably so. AaroHolics poured into local music stores through out Pakistan to get their hands on the much-anticipated album. The sound AaroH has brought forth through Sawaal is not only awesome but has many levels and a great deal of variety. From love ballads and techno numbers to hard rock tracks, you name it; it's on this album. Commendable is the sound quality and adequate use of affects, synths and brilliant mixing. Most songs are composed and written by the band itself. And as far as music goes, Aaroh very apparently masters all aspects. The instrumental skill portrayed is unbelievable, as all band members seem to excel in several areas apart from those, which they are well known for. In addition to the superb songs, the quality of production and the innovative album cover and inlay are also commendable. Moving onto the tracks, Sawaal is a compilation of twelve breathtaking songs out of which three have been released and have proven to be highly successful singles. Sawaal is the first song of the album. Possessing depth and precision of the highest degree; this number had long before proven to be sensational. Like a number of other songs on the album, Sawaal too speaks of love. Betrayal and hurt is the theme. With a combination of electrifying guitaring, implausible vocals, amazing drumming and an awesome beat, the song presents itself as a brilliant introduction to the album. Aik Din is the next track. The song has a rather different sound to it and varies somewhat from what we have heard from AaroH in the past. Observed first off is the magnificent guitaring and astounding vocals. In addition to this, the lyrics are also exceptionally charming. Dunya is an unforgettable track with all aspects of music aligned flawlessly. Everything from vocals and guitaring right down to lyrics and drumming is literally perfect. An empowering tune and awesome affects makes Dunya a number indeed worthy of praise. Up next is an all time AaroH favorite, Jalan. For apparent reasons Jalan has been a chart topping single, as it's impressive power of music represents well the ptitude of AaroH. Aankhien follows Jalan, and is a different but equally amazing track. Appropriate use of musical resources and as usual brilliant vocals and guitaring makes this yet another brilliant addition to the track list. Following this is Hoor, an amazing instrumental by Nabeel. In this track the individuals numerous talents are done justice to. Not only is he responsible for the exquisite guitaring but the magic on the keyboard and drums is also his. An incredible portrayal of his skill, Nabeel very obviously out does himself in Hoor. A fun and energetic track called Dil Ki Baton Ko is up next. Having a fast beat, enjoyable lyrics and immaculate use of instrumental proves this as yet another successful number. Aag Ki Tarha is next and is by far one of the most beautiful tracks ever created. A soft tune and powerful guitaring and lyrics give this song a unique touch of excellence. Jiye is a powerful patriotic number. Loud vocals, unique riffs and energy set this number apart from all others. Na Kaho, being a highly impressive power ballad, had captured the hearts of avid AaroHolics long before the release of Sawaal. A guitar instrumental initially, composition and vocals by Farooq adds a lovely feel of sincere emotion and beauty. Ajnabi is the only cover included in the album. A new and improved version of a song done originally by Vital Signs, it is a deep and invariably awesome song. The twelfth and last track is yet another brilliant addition of a guitar solo with an incredible alaap on Farooqs part. Included also are lyrics written by Nabeel and spoken by Shafeeq ur Rehman. It has a haunting affect, which makes one drown in the darkness of the moment. Each song on the album has a different sound with numerous aspects to explore. Aaroh has managed to cover all musical grounds successfully. A highly recommended album, Aarohs Sawaal accelerates the ascension the bands name speaks of and steadily proves to be a grand success.
