Yeah I am singing this song written by Ahmad Faraz, as he is no more in this world and this song really resembles the situation.
Ab ke hum bichrey tau shayad Kabhi Khabon main Milain
Ahmad Faraz is considered as one of the greatest modern Urdu poets of the present times. Born as Syed Ahmad Shah in 1934, he breathed his last at a hospital in Islamabad, Pakistan, last night (Monday, August 25, 2008). Earlier, he was being treated for kidney failure in a Chicago hospital. Ahmad Faraz has a tremendous following. His poetry is understood by common people as well. A revolutionary poet of wit, depth and grit alike, he was in exile during the martial law rule of General Zia-ul-Haq. Like Faiz Ahmad Faiz, some of his best poems are from those days. He wrote 13 books which were published as “Shehr e Sukhn aarasta hai”.
