The following is not Sufi Poetry, however it is my gesture of respect to one of greatest Urdu poets of recent times. Ahmed Faraz sahib 25 August 2008 ko Allah ko pyare ho gaye.
A dove between India and Pakistan. In his latest double CD "Paigham-e-Muhabbat" composer Muzaffar Ali, who has brought so much pleasure to our lives in the last two decades, included ‘O des aane wale bata'. This nazm by Ahmed Faraz and Akhtar Sheerani is beautifully sung by Abida Parveen.
For those of us who migrated during Partition from India to Pakistan or vice versa and have memories of the old homeland. Also many who have lived overseas, away from our birthplace for several years, and yet have a deep felt love and nostalgia for what was left behind, it strikes a cord.
In memory of Ahmed Faraz who was one of the greatest contemporary Urdu poets. Faraz sahib 25 August 2008 ko Allah ko pyare ho gaye.
