Something about Ahmad faraz
Aj Ahmad faraz sahab ki birthday ha.
born on January 14, 1931 in Nowshera - Pakistan.
his real name is Syed Ahmed Shah.
Ethnically a Pashto-speaking Pashtun, Ahmed Faraz learned and studied in famous Edwards College Peshawar and studied Persian and Urdu at the Peshawar University.
In an interview with Rediff he recalls how his father, a teacher, once bought clothes for him on Eid. He didn't like the clothes meant for him, but preferred the ones meant for his elder brother. This lead him to write his first couplet:
Layen hain sab ke liye kapde sale se (He brought clothes for everybody from the sale)
Layen hain hamare liye kambal jail se (For me he brought a blanket from jail).
He initially worked as a script writer at radio Pakistan Peshawar and then moved on to teach Urdu at Peshawar University.
He has so far written 13 books .

Kuch ashaar mujey buhot pasand hain.
.....
Har ek bat kio na zahar se hamarey lagay
ki ham ko dast-e-zamney kay zakham kari lagay
udasiyan hon musalsal tu dil nahi rota
kabi kabi ho tu ye kaifeyat be pyari lagay.
hamary pass be beto bas itna chahty hain
hamary saat tabiat agar tumhari lagay.
