A Research and Critical Analysis of the Sketch “Faiz Ahmed Faiz” Written by Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi

Abstract

Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi, besides poetry, short-story writing, humorous column writing, and literary criticism, also ventured into the field of sketch writing. He authored two collections of sketches titled Mere Hamsafar and Mere Hamqadam. In these books, he penned sketches of his senior and junior literary friends as well as other notable personalities. Among these, the sketch written on Faiz Ahmed Faiz gained considerable notoriety after becoming controversial. In this particular sketch, instead of fulfilling the true demands of the art of sketch writing, the writer appears to have been influenced by a sense of contemporary rivalry, the result of which is that Faiz’s personality seems to have been somewhat impaired in its portrayal. This Reseach paper examines that sketch in the light of the principles of the art of sketch writing.
