A little over a month ago we had reported that the news of poet Ahmed Faraz’s death was unfounded and although struggling for his life, he was indeed alive. Today it is my sad duty to report that he struggle no more. Leganadry poet Ahmed Faraz died in Islamabad earlier today.
His legend will live on in the eternal beauty of the poetry he has left behind.

tum bhi Khafaa ho log bhi beraham hain dosto
ab ho chalaa yaqein ke bure ham hain dosto
kis ko hamaare haal se nisbat hai kyaa karein
aankhein to dushmanoun ki bhi pur_nam hain dosto
apane sivaa hamaare na hone kaa Gam kise
apani talaash mein to ham hi ham hain dosto
kuchh aaj shaam hii se hai dil bhii bujhaa bujhaa
kuchh shahar ke chiraaG bhi maddham hain dosto
is shahar-e-aarazuu se bhi baahar nikal chalo
ab dil ki raunaqein bhi koi dam hain dosto
sab kuchh sahi 'Faraz' par itanaa zaruur hai
duniyaa main aise log bahut kam hain dosto
Good bye Ahmad Faraz
Inna lillah e wa ina alaeheh rajaoon

A great loss for urdu poetry and lovers. I have met him quite a few times and everytime I was more and more amazed by his personality.
