I met Faraz only once for couple of minutes and it was one of most memorable things in my life. I am fan of his poetry since I started reading, whether I could understand at that time or not. I think Pakistan had 3 real poets, Iqbal, Faiz and Faraz…he was the last chapter of urdu poetry…….
Allah bless him with peace.

I must say that the following verse has long been one of my favorite sheyr, but I had totally forgotten who the poet was. I am not surprised that it is Faraz:

Mere zameer ne qabeel ko nahin bakhsha
Main kaise sulha karoon qatal karne walon se

You were certainly blessed to have been able to get to know Ahmad Faraz on a personal level.

Thank you for sharing some of these beautiful and poignant lines that he wrote, I had not read some of them before, and I’m sure many others have enjoyed them just as much.

Still lamenting the loss of such a brilliant mind, it is still therapeutic to share his work with others. Even though I did not know him personally, I still feel as though I have lost a family member, so meaningful and passionate is his work.
