Today morning i opened my laptop and was checking BBC website and the first news was the great poet Ahmed Faraz is no more 🙁 He died after a protracted illness.

His ghazal ranjish hi sahi… rendered by Mehdi Hasan became a masterpiece. Faraz once said that Mehdi has sung it so beautifully that now it belongs to him. He will always be remembered for his great poetry.

May his soul rest in piece. Here are few links to his poetry on one of my blog and urdupoetry.com
