 Faiz Ahmad Faiz Poem

Translation:

Let's distribute stars in the water,

As needed, we distribute our support.

The business of lovers is unique,

They leave profits and distribute losses.

If meeting is not possible, then let's stand by the waves,

And distribute ourselves along the banks of love.

All the flowers of faithfulness in my basket,

I sit and distribute them all.

Besides love, Faiz has nothing else,

We distribute this same wealth, as we are destitute.

The poem by Faiz Ahmad Faiz talks about the essence of love and its selfless nature. The poet encourages us to distribute our support as needed, just like how stars are spread in the water. He points out that the business of lovers is unique, as they leave behind any personal gains and willingly bear losses.

The poem also suggests that if two lovers are unable to meet each other, they can stand by the waves of love and distribute themselves along the banks of it. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for being patient and staying committed to love, even when physical presence is not possible.

In the next stanza, the poet talks about the flowers of faithfulness that he has collected in his basket. He says that he sits and distributes them all, which can be interpreted as an act of selflessness.

The last line of the poem, "Besides love, Faiz has nothing else, we distribute this same wealth, as we are destitute" highlights the poet's belief that love is the only thing that truly matters. The distribution of love and support is the only wealth that the poet and the lovers possess, and they distribute it despite their own poverty.
