Criticism is pride of literature and achieved its peak in the twentieth century. Faiz was no doubt a magnificent poet but it is a hard fact that his unique and non- traditional criticism was undermined under his popularity as a poet not only in his times but even today. His unique diction, style, balance and straight forward opinions are very rare and exceptional in the field of literary criticism. His firmness with his ideology that literature is a product of collective thoughts of the society is conceived from evolutionary ideas of Karl Marx. His reforms in the field of literature are an asset not only to unveil his own poetry but to understand the real philosophy and approach of progressive movement. However, his remarkable work was criticized by contemporary critics. In spite of all opposition his criticism is by and large free from partiality and misbalance. His thought provoking essays need to be explored to realize the importance of collective conscience of masses. In the present hours of turbulence and instability it is essential to reaffirm his ideology to make literature more beneficial for the common people.
