اب کے ہم پر کیسا سال پڑا لوگو
اب کے ہم پر کیسا سال پڑا لوگو!
شہر میں آوازوں کا کال پڑا لوگو
ہر چہرہ دو ٹکڑوں میں تقسیم ہوا
اب کے دلوں میں ایسا بال پڑا لوگو
جب بھی دیارِ خندہ دلاں سے گزرے ہیں
اس سے آگے شہرِ ملال پڑا لوگو
آئے رت اور جائے رت کی بات نہیں
اب تو عمروں کا جنجال پڑا لوگو
تلخ نوائی کا مجرم تھا صرف فراز
پھر کیوں سارے باغ پہ جال پڑا لوگو
The beautiful words were written by Ahmad faraz year back. He’s not amongst us any more. Inna Lillah e wa inna alyhe rajeyoon. We all have to leave eventually … for good I pray.
When away from home … you gather there’s nothing that can equate the feeling of being in your own carefree surroundings. I hate double faced talk … away from home that’s what you get the most. Will write in detail laters. But now I feel so edgy. Edgy after doing what you dont want to do … or simply you just don’t know if its ok. Talk that puts you off and talk that makes you ecstatic.
Life’s strange. It has taken a strange turn.
PS: The credits for tweaking of this new template hasb e mansha and farmayishi program by yours truly goes to my sweetest dearest loveliest bahna, Hinzz, the CSS guru. I should slap myself for not mentioning her in this post. Bunch of thanks my dear :=))

Beautiful poetry by a beautiful poet. God forgive his sins and award him with jannah
Ek shakhs saarey shehr ko weeran ur gaya
Allah bless his soul!
ایک احساس کا سدا بہار شاعر
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Faraz’s poem remains very relevant.
There, of course, is no place like home.
I’m hating the so-called-funny SMSes which are parodies of poems by Faraz. :-/ They should have some respect!
PS: I told you not to mention it. Slap yourself again… >:/
i am waiting your reply, thanks
My favorite from Fraz
Galliyon mein kaisa shor thaa, kiun bheeer si maqtal mein thi
Kya wasf us shayir mein tha, kya baat us pagal mein thi
Aisa sitam kya ho gaya, ik rah-ro thaa kho gaya
Phir zindagi ki shaam thi aur shaam bhi jangal mein thi.
Apni kasheed-e-jaan sey hi peeta raha, jeeta raha
Nasha kahan saaghar mein thaa, masti kahan botal mein thi.
Tarsi hui aankhon mein kin kin saahilon key khawab they
Per kashti-e-umr-e-rawaan halaat ki daldal mein thi.
Khalqat nay awaazay kasay, taa’nay diye, fatway jarray
Woh sakht jaan hansta raha, go khud kushi pal pal mein thi.
Funny that Hina mentioned those text messages… I was about to write a full post on them when the news of Faraz’s death arrived, and I let the idea go.
By the way, life is always strange. The sooner we learn to enjoy its strangeness, the better.
ah I had been a great of faraz…its an unrepairable loss to our country..
At first I couldn’t understand what those txt msgs meant when they had Faraz written in Capital letters. A few were funny but others were just tooo lame!
I think no more legend is left..all are gone:(May Allah rest his soul in peace..ameen…
..us ki woh janay usay pass-e-wafa tha k na tha
tum Faraz apni terf say tu nibhatay jatay..
May Allah rest his soul in peace *Ameen*
umer daraz baig walaykum assalam, Alhamdolillah
Jazakum Allah .. May Allah blessu too~
siras Indeed … welcome to the blog +>

Mera Pakistan Ameen Ameen.
Zios Indeed … we are losing legends fast. Ameen.
Bano True very true
Sidhusaaheb He has written some great pieces in Urdu … do give him a read too .. oh but then poetry flies around you … LOL, no?
Hina me too … but one that I got today was awesome it said :
faraz ko sab logon nay pichlay das dino may itna yaad kiya kay woh Allah ko piyaray hogayay … aao abb hum sab mil kar zardari ko yaad karain =P
and pps: oooops =D
Aamir Butt Loved it
Specially …
“Tarsi hui aankhon mein kin kin saahilon key khawab they
Per kashti-e-umr-e-rawaan halaat ki daldal mein thi”

A personal friend of Ahmad Faraz, who’s also been the secretary of the Haryana Urdu Akademi and instrumental in organising Indo-Pak Mushairay, has written about his relationship with the poet at http://www.tribuneindia.com/2008/20080827/edit.htm#6
