A famous writer of Urdu in Pakistan, he was a Poet and author from Pakistan who wrote in Urdu and Punjabi. He is remembered for his work in the language. In addition to his experience in literature, he was also an army officer, a newspaper journalist, a trade union member, and a radio and television broadcaster.
As a child, Faiz grew up in Punjab, an outlying region in British India. Following his military service, he joined the British Indian Army as a leading member of the Communist Party following Pakistan’s independence. Also, he became editor of The Pakistan Times.
His family was Jats, and he was born in Kala Qader, the district Narowal, Punjab, British India, on 13 February 1911. In literary circles, Faiz comes from a family known for its academic pursuits. He hosted gatherings of local poets and writers at his home in the province where he grew up to promote literacy. His father, Sultan Muhammad Khan, was a British Government employee and a barrister. An autodidact wrote and published a biography of Emirs Abdur Rahman and Kabir of Afghanistan.
At the Government College University, where Faiz taught poetry, Faiz became close to Alys Faiz, a British national and a Communist Party member. The marriage ceremony was held in Srinagar, while the nikah ceremony was held at Pari Mahal. Salima and Moneeza Hashmi were born to the couple.
The building where Government College for Women, M.A. Road, is now located is where he and his spouse lived.

In addition to Sheikh Abdullah and Bakshi Ghulam Mohammad, Ghulam Mohammed Sadiq attended Faiz’s nikkah ceremony. Although she opted for citizenship in Pakistan, Alys played an essential role in bringing together the communist masses in the Rawalpindi Conspiracy Case, which led to the abolition of the British Raj.
Faiz was raised according to a secular interpretation of Islam, although some family members were devout Muslims. Maulana Hafiz Muhammad Ibrahim Mir Sialkoti, a scholar of Ahl-i Hadith, oriented him to the basics of religious studies at the local mosque following the South Asian Muslim tradition.
The Quran, Arabic, Persian, and Urdu languages were taught to him according to Muslim tradition. Faiz’s father later removed him from Islamic school because he was not content with the impoverished children at the Madrassa, who ridiculed him, even though he was trying to ease their minds. They resisted his efforts to make them comfortable.
In Faiznama, Faiz narrates that he used to come to the Madrassa dressed in neat clothing in a horse-drawn carriage. On the other hand, the other students had poor backgrounds as they used to sit on straw mats on the floor. Dr. Ayub Mirza recalls Faiz telling his father he was leaving the Madrassa when he came home. For this reason, his father removed him from the madrasa and got him admission to the Scotch Mission School, operated by a local British family.
In the year following his matriculation, he enrolled at Murray College at Sialkot for intermediate studies. His first academic endeavor was a course in language and arts at Government College, Lahore, in 1926.
