The Pen ceased its journey on paper

Passing away of Ahmed Faraz has taken away one of finest masters of Urdu poetry of our times. Pakistan will also mourn the loss who like Faiz also championed the cause of their own political ideology often at odds with the oppressive political order.
There are so few of the great Urdu poets left that one at times despair of the cause. The great subcontinent tradition of social and romance poetry will certainly miss his genius.
So long and thanks for all the gems of Poetry
