Ahmad Faraz (Urdu: احمد فراز) born Syed Ahmad Shah (Urdu: سید احمد شاہ) on January 12, 1931 in Kohat, was a Pakistani Urdu poet. He was considered one of the great modern Urdu poets of the last century. Faraz is his pseudonym 'takhalus'. Faraz died in Islamabad on August 25, 2008.
Faraz has been compared with Faiz Ahmad Faiz, holds a unique position as one of the best poets of current times, with a fine but simple style of writing. Even common people can easily understand his poetry. Ethnically a Hindkowan, Ahmed Faraz studied Persian and Urdu at the Peshawar University. He later became lecturer at the Peshawar University.He was awarded Hilal-e-Imtiaz, Sitara-i-Imtiaz and after his death Hilal-e-Pakistan by the government.
Here you go "Muhasara" (Urdu: محاصرہ), a beautiful Urdu poem by Ahmad Faraz. This Poem was written while he was on self imposed exile during the military government of General Zia-ul-Haq. I hope you will enjoy reading/ reciting it.

ReplyDeletetu apni ana ko apna, hay ishq samjh betha
تقدس یار نا تجھ میں نا درد میں سکوں
تو اپنی انا کو اپنا، ہے عشق سمجھ بیٹھا

You are not the real Ahmed Faraz. You are merely an imposter.

ReplyDeleteمیں اک مسافر خاک نشیں جولاں گاہ جنوں
میں تو بس شوخیوں سے اضطراب ہوں
ReplyDeleteچھپ چھپ کر رہی ہو بےوفائ
کیا سمجھ رہی ہو میری محبت کو
کہہ رہی تھی محبت رھے گی جاودانی
کیا ہوا اب تیری الفت میں
سب ہیں دلیلیں تیرے خلاف مگر
پھر بھی سوچتا ہو تیری حمایت میں
پھر بھی سمجہتی ہو مجھ کو بیگانہ
مجھ کو اب ضرورت نہی تیری محبت کی
