Sara Shaher Bilakta he
Phir bhi kesa Sakta he
Aik saffar wu he, jis mein
Paon nahi, dil thakta he
Tera bicherna Jan e ghazal
Shaher e Suken ka Maqta he—-

I am very sad at the demise of Faraz sahib. I have grown up reading and living his book Dard-e-Aashob. He was a great poet. His death is a shocking news to all of his fans across the world.
All I can say at this moment is ….
karun na yaad magar kis tarah bhulaun use
ghazal bahana karun aur gungunaun use
