Faiz returned to his roots by spending has last days in Lahore and visiting his birthplace a village near Sialkot city.

Gar aajtujh say judahaintukallbahamhoon gay
Yehraatbher key judaitu koi baatnehien
Gar aajooj pay haitala-a raqeebtukya
Yeah char din key khudaitu koi baatnahien


[If away from you today tomorrow we will be together
One night’s separation is nothing to worry about
If the enemy has the upper hand today so what
Being a god for four days is nothing to be proud of]

Sahba Lucknavi started his literary career from Bohpal where he was born. He lived in Lucknow completed his education and started his career as an Editor of AFKAR in 1950's from Bohpal. After the partition he moved to Pakistan and started AFKAR again in 1951. His first poetic collection was published in Bhopal in 1943. His SAFARNAMA” Meray Khawbau ke Sir Zameen was published in 1962. His research work on IQBAL was published through Iqbal Academy “Iqbal Aur Bhopal” in three volumes. He edited several books but AFKAR as a monthly magazine was the highlight of his career.

His passion for AFKAR was to highlight the literary work of famous poets during their lifetime. This was his seminal achievement as the tradition was to pay tribute after their death. This includes FIAZ number, JOSH number, HAFIZ number, Manto number and NADEEM number is some worth mentioning.

Monthly AFKAR was published until 2004. The last issue was published post humus as a tribute to his literary work.

Father & Son ; Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi & Nauman Qasmi

A father is someone who
wants to catch you before you fall
but instead picks you up,
brushes you off,
and lets you try again.

A father is someone who
wants to keep you from making mistakes
but instead lets you find your own way,
even though his heart breaks in silence
when you get hurt.

A father is someone who
holds you when you cry,
scolds you when you break the rules,
shines with pride when you succeed,
and has faith in you even when you fail...

For in the end a father knows you have a chance to be everything he dreamed but could not....and so it will be when you are a father too!

Thank you for this lovely poem, brought a tear to my eye...I didnt understand it when I was a kid that well, but now I appreciate much more what my dad did for me when I look back with older eyes.

گرمئی حسرتِ ناکام سے جل جاتے ہیں
ہم چراغوں کی طرح شام سے جل جاتے ہیں
جب بھی آتا ہے مرا نام ترے نام کے ساتھ
جانے کیوں لوگ مرے نام سے جل جاتے ہیں

'ālī' jis kā fann-e-suḳhan meñ ik andāz nirālā thā

naqd-e-suḳhan meñ zikr ye aayā dohe paḌhne vaalā thā

jaane kyuuñ logoñ kī nazreñ tujh tak pahuñcheñ ham ne to

barsoñ ba.ad ġhazal kī rau meñ ik mazmūn nikālā thā

kyā vo ghaTā tire ghar se uTThī kyā vo tū ne bhejī thī

būñdeñ raushan raushan thiiñ aur bādal kaalā kaalā thā

ajnabiyoñ se dhoke khānā phir bhī samajh meñ aatā hai

is ke liye kyā kahte ho vo shaḳhs to dekhā-bhālā thā

ham na mile aur jab bhī mile to donoñ ne iqrār kiyā

haañ vo va.ada aisā thā jo puurā hone vaalā thā

taptī dhūpoñ meñ bhī aa kar apnī yaad dilāte haiñ

chāñd-nagar ke 'inshā'-sāhib aale jin kā haalā thā

ajab nashat se jallad ke chale hain hum aage

MIRZA GHALIB

ajab nashāt se jallād ke chale haiñ ham aage

ki apne saa.e se sar paañv se hai do qadam aage

qazā ne thā mujhe chāhā ḳharāb-e-bāda-e-ulfat

faqat ḳharāb likhā bas na chal sakā qalam aage

ġham-e-zamāna ne jhāḌī nashāt-e-ishq kī mastī

vagarna ham bhī uThāte the lazzat-e-alam aage

ḳhudā ke vāste daad us junūn-e-shauq kī denā

ki us ke dar pe pahuñchte haiñ nāma-bar se ham aage

ye umr bhar jo pareshāniyāñ uThā.ī haiñ ham ne

tumhāre aa.iyo ai turrah-hā-e-ḳham-ba-ḳham aage

dil o jigar meñ pur-afshāñ jo ek mauja-e-ḳhūñ hai

ham apne zom meñ samjhe hue the us ko dam aage

qasam janāze pe aane kī mere khāte haiñ 'ġhālib'

hamesha khāte the jo merī jaan kī qasam aage

Happy Birthday Nasir Kazmi :angel:

Nasir Kazmi was one of the greatest poets of his era. He should be ranked among those of our writers who were not destined to live long but who, during their limited span, wrote extensively and touched the heights of creativity before passing away.

ہوتی ہے تیرے نام سے وحشت کبھی کبھی
برہم ہوئی ہے یوں بھی طبیعت کبھی کبھی
اے دوست ہم نے ترکِ محبت کے باوجود
محسوس کی ہے تیری ضرورت کبھی کبھی

Happy Birthday Jaun
One of the greatest Urdu poets, Jaun Elia, was born in Uttar Pradesh but moved to Pakistan after Partition. His poems reflect his revolutionary ideas and his love is always unrequited. Nihilism, loneliness, a deep grief of separation and self-destruction are the central themes of his poetry and each line will tug your aching heart.

ساری دنیا کے غم ہمارے ہیں
اور ستم یہ کہ ہم تمہارے ہیں
"جون ایلیا"
