Books

Kunj-e-Qafas Шаблон:Nq published in February 2023. A profound piece of poetry that reflects on Fawad's journey from a passionate public-speaker in his youth to a prisoner of conscience at the peak of his public service career, who was punished for his commitment to transparency and the rule of law. His poetry symbolises the transformation of Pakistan through the last five decades espousing a romantic self-belief at the start to a yearning for liberty of speech and thought in today’s Pakistan.

His verses are composed in the finest traditions of Urdu language which appear to draw inspiration from the likes of Ghalib, Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Ahmed Faraz and Habib Jalib.[19][20]
