A Prison Evening Comments

Excellent poem. Original is far better.

Wow. About the best poem by Faiz

This poet's heart can never be imprisoned- oh, but he frees the soul from bitterness and loneliness so surely his soul is just as free as those he freed

A great poem by a great poet. Faiz was a poet who amazingly put his feelings in reader's heart. My Salute to him.

Just too beautiful....pure ecstasy in reading

Like on a magic carpet reading this work...wonderful composing a treat to read.

Nice poem exhibits a great expression of the feelings and the plight of the prisoned people. The language is simple but ideas are soaring touching the sky.

strangely can an evening in a prison be so sweet....brings tears into my eyes.....are da thousands of my kashmiri brothers feeling same in indian prisons or are they not allowed to see the moon? God help all those innocent people languishing in indian jails....

I love the image of stars as a rung, a spiral staircase into the evening. The entire poem is clever and well-written.

Where, indeed, is the boundary between political, personal, and universal experience? This is a very beautiful translation, Agha Shahid Ali - and you are much to be commended for offering it. A moment of awareness of the present is, indeed, eternity.
