kaThin hai raahguzar thoRii duur saath chalo
bahut kaRaa hai safar thoRii duur saath chaalo
(kaThin : difficult; raahguzar : path)
tamaam umr kahaaN ko’ii saath detaa hai
maiN jaantaa huuN magar thoRii duur saath chalo
nashe meN chuur huuN maiN bhii tumheN bhii hosh nahiiN
baRaa mazaa ho agar thoRii duur saath chalo
ye ek shab kii mulaaqaat bhii Ghaniimat hai
kise hai kal kii Khabar, thoRii duur saath chalo
abhii to jaag rahe haiN chiraaGh raahoN ke
abhii hai duur sahar thoRii duur saath chalo
(sahar : dawn)
tavaaf-e-manzil-e-jaanaaN hameN bhii karnaa hai
“Faraz” tum bhii agar thoRii duur saath chalo

If words lay scaterred on pieces of paper looking like thorougly refined diamonds everyone will automatically know that its Ahmad Faraz’s creation. Another masterpiece from the master of urdu poetry and one of the most important people in my life.Ahmad faraz saab is the only inspiration i have and it is because of him that i started writing at a very young age.Anways one shier for him from my heart !!
is sabab sey kay tera har lafz moti sey barh ker hai
tuney tou mujh sey shaks ko bhi apna aseer ker liya
ALLah aap ko salamt rekhey !!
aur faraz cheyah kitni muhabtein tujhay,
maoon nay tairay naam per bachoon ka naam rekh deaya
Today Sir Late Ahmed Faraz is not among us.
Dnt know how urdu peotry will fullfill his space while every one believe him as undoubtally the most accomplished,wonderful and brilliant urdu poet .He stands in the list of allama iqbal,faiz ahmed faiz but he is still different from them.i pray to ALLAH TALLAH that may his soul rest in peace.
My dad Iftikhar ahmed chaudhry was good friend of Sir Faraz.
Last night he told me many things about him that not only made me thing him as great poet even he was man of words and character.
JITNA KAHOON KEM LEGTA HAY NAVEED,
ALFAZ US KEE TAREEF MEIN KEM PERTAY HAIN.
well, i want to praise his work but i fall short of words. i can only say he was the best poet for me.
Naveed my son has left some comments.i was in freindship with Fraz for almost 15 years.He was man of principal,Of course was agreat poet butt as well as great person.Fraz 3 umrahs 2 i arranged.He was very strong muslim in front of kafirs butt kafir in front of mullahs.
Bhola Fraz i burried him butt he is with me.
weda e yar ka manzar fraz yad naheen
bus aik doobta sooraj meri naza main raha
First of all, it is my pray to Allah the almighty to keep the soul of Respected Late Ahmed Faraz in peace and bestow him Jannat ul Firdoos. May Allah rest his soul in peace(aamin)
As far as the poetry of Respected is concern, being the tahlib of urdu and english poetry. I can say he was so nice and his poetry tounchs everybody’s heart. As my brother Naveed has narrated that he is in the category of Respected Iqbal etc. I agree with him.
thanks indeed.
kiya Faraz koi kami rah gyii teri mahfil me
ab to mahfil me aana he chod diya
mout ka gam nhi hai gam toh ye hai
aaj he tu mere ghar nhi hai
teri agosh me meri jaan nikle yaisa mera mukddar nhi hai
daldo apne anchal ka tukra mayyat pe meri chadar nhi hai
Ahmed Fraz touched the realaty of the peotery
outstanding poetry of faraz… i love it
hum muhabbat me b toheed k qayil hain faraz
hum ne aik hi shakhs ko mehboob bana rakha hai
fraz sahab mere murshid hai aur hamesha rahenge
unki mehfil mien FARAZ unki tabasum ki qasam
hum dekhty hi reh gaey haath sy jana dil ka.
Faraz tujy hum umar bhar yaad krty rahiengy…
assalam o alaikum!
ahmad faraz is my best poet.and i like his poetry best.SO MAY HIS SOUL REST IN NPEACE.
