Faraz has been compared with Faiz Ahmad Faiz,[6] holds a unique position as one of the best poets of current times, with a fine but simple style of writing.[5] Even common people can easily understand his poetry.

In an interview with Rediff he recalls how his father, 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:

:سب کے واسطے لائے ہیں کپڑے سیل سے

:لائے ہیں میرے لیے قیدی کا کمبل جیل سے

Sab kay waste laye hein kaprye sale se

Laye hein mere liye qaidi ka kambal jail se

Faraz died of kidney failure in a local Islamabad hospital on 25 August 2008. His funeral was held on the evening of 26th, by many admirers and government officials at H-8 Graveyard, Islamabad, Pakistan.

A sample of his poetry is:

Nazm: Khwaab martay naheen

Khwaab martay naheen

Khwaab dil hain, nah aankhen, nah saansen keh jo

Rezaa, rezaa huwe to bikhar jaayen ge

Jism kii maut se ye bhii mar jaayen ge

English translation.

Dreams do not die

Dream are not heart, nor eyes nor breath

Which shattered, will scatter

Die with the death of the body

Another poetic translation of the above

Dreams do not die

Dreams are not heart, nor eyes nor a breath

Which shatter and then they scatter,

Die they all, with end being nigh

Wafaa Ke Baab Mein iLzaam-e-Aashiqui Na Lia

Ahmad Faraz Poetry

Wafaa Ke Baab Mein iLzaam-e-Aashiqui Na Lia

Ke Teri Baat Ki Aur Tera Naam Bhi Na Lia

Khusha Wo Loog Ke Mehroom-e-iLtafaat Rahay

Tere Karam Ko Ba Andaaz-e-Saadgi Na Lia

Tumhaaray Baad Kayi Haath Dil Ki Simt Barhay

Hazaar Shukar Girebaan Ko Ham Ne Si Na Lia

Tamaam Masti-o-Tishna Labi Ke Hangaamay

Kisi Ne Sang Uthaaya, Kisi Ne Meena Lia

“Faraz” Zulm Hai Kuch Itni Khud Aitmaadi Bhi

Ke Raat Bhi Thi Andheri, Charaagh Bhi Na Lia

“Faraz” Ab Koi Sodaa Koi Junoo.n Bhi Nahi

Ahmad Faraz Poetry

“Faraz” Ab Koi Sodaa Koi Junoo.n Bhi Nahi

Magar Qaraar Se Din Kat Rahay Hon Yun Bhi Nahi

Lab-o-Dehan Mila Guftuguu Ka Fun Bhi Mila

Magar Jo Dil Pe Guzarti Hai Keh Sakuun Bhi Nahi

Na Jaanay Kiun Meri Aankhain Barasnay Lagti Hain

Jo Sach Kahuun Tou Kuch Aisa Udaas Hun Bhi Nahi

Meri Zabaa.n Ki Luknat Se Badgumaa.n Na Ho

Jo TU Kahay Tou Tujhe Umer Bhar Miluun Bhi Nahi

Dukhon Ke Dhair Lagay Hain Ke Loog Baithay Hain

Is Diyaar Ka Mein Bhi Hun Aur Hun Bhi Nahi

“Faraz” Jaisay Diya Qurbat-e-Hawaa Chaahay

Wo Paas Aaye Tou Mumkin Hai Mein Rahuun Bhi Nahi
