On this day, Ahmed Faraz departed from this world to eternity. Widely regarded as one of the greatest Urdu poets to ever hold the pen, his writing style was admired and acknowledged for being easy and comprehensive. Recipient of Sitara-e-Imtiaz, Hilal-e-Imtiaz and Hilal-e-Pakistan for his incredible literary work, today marks his 8th death anniversary. And back in the days he quoted:
Silsilay Tor Gaya Woh Sabhi Jatay Jatay
Warna Itne To Marasim The Ke Aate Jate
Shikwa e Zulmat e Shab Sey Tou Behter Tha
Apney Hissay Ki Koi Shamma Jalatay Jatay
Kitna Asaan Tha Teray Hijr Mein Marna Janaa
Phir Bhee Ik Umr Lagi Jaan Se Jatay Jatay
Jashn e Maqtal Hi Na Barpa Hua Warna Hum
Pa’ Bajoulaan Hi Sahi, Nachte Gaate Jatay
Us Ki Woh Jane Usey Pass e Wafa Tha Keh Na Tha
Tum Apni Taraf Se To Faraz Nibhate Jate
