NIGHT, SOLITUDE, SELF: Firaq in his Elements
Firaq Gorakhpuri makes a friend of the night. It is a living presence in his verses that hums with soft movement. It has its own rhythm, its own pace as it moves on moment by moment. Firaq recognizes this and connects with the elements of the night, the stars heave, the winds are infused with stories, the evenings have sorrows to share.
