Danish Iqbal's "Dara Shikoh", directed by M S Sathyu, is considered a modern classic for its use of newer theatre techniques and a contemporary perspective. His other plays are "Sahir", on the famous lyricist and revolutionary poet; "Kuchh Ishq kiya Kuchh Kaam", a Celebration of the Faiz's poetry, featuring events from the early part of his life, particularly the events and incidents of pre-partition days which shaped his life and ideals; and "Chand Roz Aur Meri Jaan", another play inspired from Faiz's letters written from various jails during the Rawalpindi Conspiracy days. He has written 14 other plays including "Dilli Jo Ek Shehr Thaa" and "Main Gaya Waqt Nahin hoon".
