Faiz rose to the rank of lieutenant-colonel.
However, once the war was over, the newly recruited men turned against the British, 1946 Naval Mutiny.
Faiz was imprisoned for more than 4 years after partition in a fake case popularly called "Pindi Conspiracy Case".
He was held in solitary confinement in Sahiwal and Hyderabad (Sindh) jail and was even deprived of writing material. Faiz was again imprisoned in 1958 (Ayyub Khan’s martial law).
Faiz Ahmad Faiz (3rd from right) is seen with Sahir Ludhianvi, Majrooh Sultanpuri, Naushad, Jan Nisar Akhtar, Rajinder Singh Bedi, RD Burman and others.

Fazi later wrote a tribute to Bhagat Singh.
Sab takht giraye jayenge,
Hum dekhenge,
Lazim hai ki hum bhi dekhenge.
Every crown will be tossed,
Every throne will be brought down.
We shall witness,
It is certain that we too shall witness.
- Faiz Ahmad Faiz
