Death Anniversary Of Ahmad Faraz...

Recommended Posts

Biography:

Faraz was born in Kohat, Pakistan to Syed Muhammad Shah Barq. His brother is Syed Masood Kausan. In an interview with Rediff he recalls how his father, once bought clothes for him on Eid. He didn't like the clothes meant for him, but preferred the ones meant for his elder brother. This lead him to write his first couplet:

سب کے واسطے لائے ہیں کپڑے سیل سے

لائے ہیں میرے لیے قیدی کا کمبل جیل سے

Sab kay waste laye hein kaprye sale se

Laye hein mere liye qaidi ka kambal jail se

(He brought clothes for everybody from the sale)

(For me he brought a blanket from jail)

His parents asked him once to learn mathematics from a class fellow during the summer vacation. But he was weak in mathematics and geography, he didn't remember maps and roads.

He moved to Peshawer with entire family. Studied in famous Edwards college, Peshawar and then did his Masters in Urdu and Persion from Peshawer University

During his time in college, Faiz ahmed faiz and Ali sardar jaferi were the best progressive poets, who impressed him and became his role models.

Literary and Political life:

Ahmad Faraz was arrested for reciting poems that criticized military ruler-ship in Pakistan during the Zia ul haq era. Following that arrest he went into a self-imposed exile. He stayed for 6 years in Britain, Canada and Europe before returning to Pakistan, where he was initially appointed Chairman Academy of Letters and later chairperson of the Islamabad-based National bank foundation for several years.

He has been awarded with numerous national and international awards. In 2006, he returned the Hilal-e-Imtiaz award he was given in 2004.

"My conscious will not forgive me if I remained a silent spectator of the sad happenings around us. The least I can do is to let the dictatorship know where it stands in the eyes of the concerned citizens whose fundamental rights have been usurped. I am doing this by returning the Hilal-e-imtiaz (civil) forthwith and refuse to associate myself in any way with the regime..."

a statement issued by the poet.

About his current writings he says:

"I now only write when I am forced to from the inside."

Maintaining a tradition established by his mentor, the revolutionary Faiz ahmed faiz, he wrote some of his best poetry during those days in exile. Famous amongst poetry of resistance has been "Mahasara".

Faraz was also mentioned by actor Shahzada Ghaffar in the pothwai telefilm "Khai Aye O".

Despite his deteriorating health, he was quite active in the Judicial crisis, in 2007. He joined personally the lawyers to protest against the government, and also encouraged his colleagues to do the same.

Death:

Faraz died from Kidney failure in a local Islamabad hospital on 25 August 2008. His funeral was held on the evening of 26th, by many admirers and government officials at H-8 Graveyard, Islamabad, Pakistan.

Hogayi rukhsat ghata baarish ke baad

Ek diya jalta raha baarish ke baad

Mere behte hue Aansuo ko dekh kar

Ro parri thandi hawa baarish ke baad

Meri tanhaayi ka daaman thaam kar

Kuch udaasi ne kaha baarish ke baad

Yaad teri orrh kar mein so gayi

Khawaab ka daar khul gaya baarish ke baad

Chand dekh kar baadlo ki qaid mein

Ek sitaara ro diya baarish ke baad

Apne ghar ki har kachi deewaar par

Naam tera likh diya baarish ke baad

Hum jo toote to is tarah toote

jaise hathon se girr k pathar par

koi shafaaf aaiina toote

jaise palkon se toot tha aansoo

jaise seene main ik kamaan toote

jaise umeed ki nazuk daali

barg mosam main na gahaan toote

jaise aankhon main khwab ki doori

waqt e takmeel se ulajh jaye

jaise pairon tale zameen nikle

jaise sar par yeh asmaan toote

jaise ik shaakh pe bharosa kia

is pe jitne thay aashiyaan toote

jaise wehshat se hosh aa jaye

jaise ta dair main dheyaan toote

ab jo raiza howay to sochte hain

kis nay dekha tha tootna apna

hum jo toote to raayegaan toote

Suna Hai Loog Usse Aankh Bhar Ke Dekhte Hain

So Uss Ke Sheher Mein Kuch Din Theher Ke Dekhte Hain

Suna Hai Boley Tou Baaton Se Phool Jhartey Hain

Yeh Baat Hai To Chalo Baat Kar Ke Dekhte Hain

Suna Hai Raat Ko Usse Titliyaan Sataati Hai

Suna Hai Raat Ko Jugnoo Theher Ke Dekhte Hain

Suna Hai Uss Ke Badan Ki Taraash Aisi Hai

Ke Phool Apni Qabaaein Katar Ke Dekhte Hain

Rukey To Gardishein Uss Ka Tawaaf Karti Hain

Chaley To Uss Ko Zamaaney Theher Ke Dekhte Hain

Kisse Naseeb Ke Be-Pairahan Usse Dekhey

Kabhi Kabhi Dar-O-Deewaar Ghar Ke Dekhte Hain

Kahaaniyaan Hi Sahi, Sab Mubaalghey Hi Sahi

Agar Woh Khawaab Hai, Taabeer Kar Ke Dekhte Hain

Judaaiyaan To Muqadder Hai Phir Bhi Jaan-E-Safar

Kuch Aur Door Zara Saath Chal Ke Dekhte Hain

Too Saamney Hai To Phir Kiyon Yaqeen Nahin Aata

Yeh Baar Baar Jo Aankhon Ko Mal Ke Dekhte Hain

Yeh Kaun Loug Hain Maujood Teri Mehfil Mein

Jo Laalachon Se Tujhey, Mujh Ko Jal Ke Dekhte Hain

Na Tujh Ko Maat Hui Hai Na Mujh Ko Maat Hui

So Ab Ke Donon Hi Chaalein Badal Ke Dekhte Hain

Buhut Dinon Se Nahin Hai Kuch Uss Ki Khair Khabar

Chalo Faraaz~ Ko0Aey Yaar Chal Ke Dekhte Hain

Bhale DinoN ki baat hai

Bhali see aik shakl thi

Naa yeh ky husn-e-taam ho

Naa dekhne mein 'Aam see

Naa yeh ky woh chale kbhi

tu Keh-kashaan rahguzar laghy

magar woh saath ho to phir

bhala bhala safar lage

koi bhi rut ho us ki chchab

fiza ka rang-o-roop thi

woh garmiyon ki chchaaon thi

woh sardiyon ki Dhoop thi

na muddatoN judaa rahe

na saath subh-o-shaam ho

na rishta-e-wafa pe zid

na ye ki izn-e-'Aam ho

na aisi Khush libasiyaan

ki saadgi gila kare

na itni be takallufi

ki aaina haya kare

na ikhtilaat mein woh ram

ki bad-mazah hon Khwahishen

na is qadar supurdigi

ki zach karen nawazishen

na aashiqi junoon ki

ki zindagi 'azaab ho

na is qadar kaThor pan

ki dosti Kharaab ho

kabhi to baat bhi Khafi

kabhi sukoot bhi suKhan

kabhi to kasht-e-z'afraan

kabhi udaasiyoN ka ban

suna hai aik 'umr hai

mu'Amilaat-e-dil ki bhi

visaal-e-jaanfiza to kya

firaaq-e-jaangusal ki bhi

so aik roz kya hua

wafa pe bahas cherr gayi

main ishq ko amar kahoon

woh meri zid se chidh gayi

main ishq ka aseer tha

woh ishq ko qafas kahe

ki umr bhar ke saath ko

woh bad-taraz-hawas kahe

"shajar hajr nahin ki ham

hamesh pa ba gul rahen

na Dhor hain ki rassiyaan

gale main mustaqil rahain

mohabbatoN ki vus'Atain

hamare dst-o-pa mein hain

bas aik dar se nisbatein

sagaan-e-bawafa mein hain

main koi painting nahi

ki aik frame meiN rahoon

wahi jo man ka meet ho

usi ke praim meiN rahoon

tumhari soch jo bhi ho

main is mizaaj ki nahin

mujhe wafa se bair hai

ye baat aaj ki nahin"

na us ko mujh pe maan tha

na mujh ko us pe za'Am hi

jo 'ahad hi koi na hoi

to kya gham-e-shakistagi

so apna apna raasta

hansi Khushi badal diya

woh apni raah chal padi

main apni raah chal diya

bhali si aik shakl thi

bhali si us ki doosti

ab us ki yaad raat din

nahin, magar "kabhi kabhi"
