When autumn came summary-


When autumn came the trees became lifeless. Autumn came like a
monster and uncovers the trees and makes them naked. Their yellow
leaves fall off the trees and those are scattered over the ground. Trees are
exploited in such a way but they could not raise their voice against such
exploitation. Even birds that are known as the proclaimer of colourful days
are sent away so no such voice can be raised. The poet prays to the God of
May to have mercy and begs blessings to the exploited so that they can be
brought back to life again. Only the power of God can save the exploited
from the exploitation and they can come back to life.
The poet wants to see trees with life which are full of green leaves so that
birds can sing again. The poet wants to see a colourful day among those
victims of exploitation.
"When Autumn Came" by Faiz Ahmed Faiz is the metaphoric
personification of change having a huge impact on something near and
dear to him. This is a revolutionary poem. Through this poem, the poet
expresses his voice against the exploitation of the poor people (the
labourers or workers) by the rich or capitalist class people. The rich people
led a luxurious life at the cost of the poor people. However, the workers
and labourers worked hard and get nothing and the poor do nothing but
looted everything from the poor. The worker's voice is not in a position to
protest against any exploitation. They bear everything silently and do
nothing against exploitation because they have to survive. The same
condition happens with the trees with the coming of Autumn season. Trees
are lifeless and their leaves turn yellow. The birds forget to sing merrily.
Here autumn represents the exploiter and the trees are being exploited.
Therefore, the poet prays to the God of May to give back life to the lifeless
trees so that the trees get back their leaves and again the birds can sing
merrily. With such expression, the poet prays God to renew the life of the
poor labourer with life and hope so that they can have a meaningful life.
Their life should not more be dried as dust and fresh blood should flow
through their views. So that on one should be exploited by anybody. He
wants to see some young and energetic one.
