Yeh raat hi akhri huwi toh kya karoge;

Hum hi na rahe, toh iss naraazgi ka kya karoge?

- What will you do if this is the last night; what if I don’t survive, what will you do with this resentment?

Strange how wholesome old concepts of love just died. Writing a love letter, taking time to think about someone write for them, get someone flowers, necklaces, having coffee at rooftops, adoring each other in pure urdu. Writing poems. I think we'll never experience this kind of love in this world again. Just as Ahmad Faraz sahab told us before. “Mohabbat un dinon ki baat hai Faraz jub loug sachay aur makaan kachay thay.”

सुना है लोग उसे आँख भर के देखते हैं

सो उस के शहर में कुछ दिन ठहर के देखते हैं

- faraz

Language of love: Urdu Poetry

Teri Surat Se Hai Aalam Mein Baharon Ko Sabaat

Teri Aankhon Ke Siwa Duniya Mein Rakha Kya Hai

Kuch zakhm sadiyon baad bhi taza rehte hain Faraz,

Waqt ke paas bhi har marz ki dawa nahi hoti

- Ahmed Faraz

‏جو بھی بچھڑے ہیں، کب ملے ہیں فراز

پھر بھی تو انتظار کر ...... شاٸد

jo bhi bichray hain, kab milay hain Faraz

Phr bhi tu intezar kar .....shayad

"faasle badh gaye aur kambakht mohabbat bhi"

- Mohsin Naqvi

If we part, may we find each other in a dream,

Just like dried flowers are found in old books.

- Faraz

Kisi bewafa ki khatir yeh junoon faraz kab tak

Jo tumhe bhula chuka hai use tum bhi bhul jaoo

Usse ishq tha; humein aaj bhi hai

kitna aasan tha tere hijr mein marna jaanan

phir bhi ek umr lagi jaan se jate jate

How easy it was to die in your separation, my love

Still it took a lifetime for me to reach my end.

— Ahmed Faraz

silsile todh gaya woh sare jate jate

warna itne to marasim the ki aate jaate

- ahmad faraz

اور فرازؔ چاہئیں کتنی محبتیں تجھے

ماؤں نے تیرے نام پر بچوں کا نام رکھ دیا

aur 'faraz' chahiyen kitni mohabbaten tujhe maaon ne tere naam par bachchon ka naam rakh diya

–Ahmed Faraz

How much more love do you require 'Faraz'

Mothers have given your name to their children

~ ahmed faraz

How strange are the laws of love,

Neither was I kept as hostage,

nor did i run away.
