Faiz - Poetry's Theme

In this poem, Faiz seemingly parallels the theme of love and bounty with that of death. Faiz describes in the periphery the coming of a sort of darkness. The use of the descriptors: fringed veil, hanging gauze, and vague mist suggest that something is being hidden from view. He starts describing the haunting beauty of a woman who he deems his muse.His poem then takes a turn toward the side that is bombarded by suffering, and he questions the presence of bounty there and yet not accessible by people. He speaks of "walls dark with secrets" and "scaffolds on which dreams have died". Faiz then ties it back to the mysterious figure of the woman; she is enchanting and yet something that is almost forbidden and devastating to him.
