The poems in this small volume are often short, humorous, and reckless, like many of the poems by this author in Persian. Like this one: Who knows? / Maybe we have someone like Gandhi, / But he has not yet returned from Africa. It is not possible to comment definitively on the genre or atmosphere of the poems, but most of them wander between romantic-erotic and sociopolitical. A recent category without indigenous signs is heavily influenced by the historical confidence of the totalitarian and repressive rulers of Iran.

Yet, as the title of the collection asserts, Faiz was a wailing nightingale-a tortured man who loved beauty, but found himself surrounded by the pain, sorrow, poverty, bloodshed, and tears of daily life in post-Colonial Pakistan.
