Aaye Kuch Abr

Aaye Kuch Abr (Urdu: آئے کُچھ ابر‎ transl. Let some cloudy weather come) is a poem written by famous Urdu poet Faiz Ahmad Faiz. It was written during Faiz's life of isolation and separation, while he was lodged in Hyderabad Central Jail during the Rawalpindi conspiracy case. He was away from his wife and two daughters. After being separated from his family, Faiz spent months without seeing them. A few steps ahead of time, Faiz found himself misunderstood in the society in which he lived. Aaye Kuch Abr took this step in Faiz's life but he stands with hope.[1][2]

Reception

Atif said about it that before you even touch a piece like this, you think twice. But the legends' work is not meant to be feared.[7] Faiz Sir's way of writing is very distinctive and our minds can't truly know his poetry."[8] Aadeez expressed their love for this. According to Coke Studio, the ghazal lashed out at Aadeez.[5]
