And They Called Faiz an Unbeliever, an Atheist, a Communist and All Sorts Of Names
The title is a comment under Sabhi Kuch Hai Tera Diya Hua Ghazal sung by Iqbal Bano and penned by Faiz Ahmad Faiz.
Iqbal Bano has sung select verses from Faiz's ghazal. Full ghazal and its English translation are below. The translation is from me and is, of course not perfect or anywhere close to the poetic brilliance of Faiz, but is only offered for those who don't understand Urdu and can get some idea about what Faiz is trying to say.
सभी कुछ है तेरा दिया हुआ सभी राहतें सभी कुल्फ़तें कभी सोहबतें कभी फ़ुर्क़तें कभी दूरियाँ कभी क़ुर्बतें All comforts, all hardships, everything is granted by you Moments of togetherness, separation, at times distance and intimacy
