Aaye Kuch Abr by Faiz Ahmed Faiz
Dear Readers,
I bring to you my next episode on The Urdu Show, ‘AAYE KUCH ABR’.
The ghazal rendition by Mehdi Hassan is written by my one of my favourite poets, Faiz Ahmed Faiz.
In this episode we discuss and explore the meaning of the beautiful composition ‘Aaye Kuch Abr’ in depth and also discuss a little about the poet’s life.
The ghazal is deeply stirring and has a mystic serenity to it. Hope you like this episode and understand the ghazal better after our discussion.
Thank you Kabir Kapoor ji, Founder of Cinema Satsang for bringing this to our viewers and thank you Namit Das for the beautiful rendition of this timeless song.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Love,
Lubna

Look into your soul
you will find a bit of me,
in moon blue sprinkles
over yellows of being
that run in eternity
