ऐ दिल वो आशिक़ी के फ़साने किधर गए। (Ae Dil Wo Aashiqi Ke Fasane Kidhar Gaye) - O! Heart Where Stories Of Love Has Gone - Akhtar Shirani  Akhtar Shirani is a famous romantic Urdu poet.

This post which is translation of his ghazal ' Benaam Se Ye Dard Theher Kyun Nahin Jata ' is a tribute to him. He was among the last of Urdu ghazal masters one who used the colloquial language in his works to convey the messages easily understandable even to common man. His sudden death with cardiac arrest is a great loss of Urdu literature and Bollywood song writing. He used to see the world with an humanitarian eye a trait which was visible in his works. In Hindi film industry , the song written by him like Hosh Walon Ko Khabar Kya, Aa Bhi Jaa, Ae Subah Aa Bhi Jaa, etc were both me...

इश्क़ ने  'ग़ालिब' निकम्मा कर दिया। Ishq Ne 'Ghalib' Nikamma Kar Diya. - Mirza Ghalib  This is among the rare Ghalib ghazal based on Sufism or love to God.
