Faiz Ahmed Faiz poses in front of a large Buddha statue in a photograph at Faiz Ghar shared by Isa Daudpota.

"Faiz was like Gautama Buddha - he never spoke bitterly and had a forgiving quality to him," Aitzaz Ahsan said at a gathering in 2013. "Not only was his smile Gautam-y, but his personality was also Gautam-y."
