Please Pray for Ahmed Faraz Saab
The legend that is Ahmed Faraz is as I write this post fighting for his life. Earlier reports of his demise have thankfully proved false and this post serves as a heartfelt appeal to all Pakistanis inside and outside of Pakistan to pray for Faraz saab.
Faraz saab is Pakistan’s most eminent living poet and literary genius. He is lauded by one and all and his star will forever sparkle as Pakistani stars spell out his name. Indeed until the sun rises and sets in Pakistan, we shall never produce another Faraz.
Faraz saab’s love for the nation is legendary and best encapsulated in his poetry. Yet his actions speak even louder than his words for Faraz saab has sacrificed for the cause of democracy since Pakistan’s inception.
He personally fought alongside tribal elders and helped liberate Azad Kashmir from the evil of the Indian empire. This is a fact dear to my heart as I owe my liberty and freedom to his sacrifice for I am a Pakistani of Azad Kashmiri heritage.
He fought Zia the tyrant and won and was exiled and is active even to this day with his open support of the lawyers movement. He has also refused national accolades in protest at the treatment of our great Balochi brothers by Musharraf’s vile regime. In a nutshell he is the true son of the soil, he is a son of the Quaid and someone who Pakistan is so so proud of.
Adil Bhai has led the effort on ATP to ask for your prayers and I echo his sentiments here. So I beg of you all to say a prayer for Faraz saab.
OH ALLAH PLEASE SAVE FARAZ SAAB
