There are very few poets in the world whose ages, life, philosophy, ideas, arts, struggles and destinies will be the same. One of these poets was Nâzim Hikmet Ran from Turkey and the second one was Faiz Ahmed Faiz from Pakistan. Nâzim Hikmet was a Turkish intellectual, playwright, novelist and one of the most famous poets of Turkish language. He was acclaimed for the “lyrical flow of his statements”, described as a “romantic communist” and “romantic revolutionary”. He was among the recipients of the International Peace Prize along with Pablo Picasso, Paul Robeson, Wanda Jakubowska and Pablo Neruda. He was repeatedly arrested for his political believes and spent much of his adult life in prison or in exile. His poetry has been translated into more than fifty languages. The other poet Faiz Ahmad Faiz was a Pakistani intellectual and one of the most famous poets of the Urdu language. He was a member of the Anjuman-e Tarraqi-pasand Mussanafin-e-Hind (All India Progressive Writers’ Movement) and an avowed Marxist. In 1962, he was awarded the Lenin Peace Prize by the Soviet Union. Although Faiz’s poetry was inspired by South Asia’s Sufi traditions, his poetry was denounced as atheism although Faiz never acknowledged himself as an atheist. In this article, firstly Nâzim Hikmet’s life is given and then a comparison of Nazim Hikmet with Faiz Ahmad Faiz, i.e. similar aspects of both precious poets is presented.
