Ahmad Faraz Ye Alam Shauq Kaa Tahira Syed

A young Ahmad Faraz sits in the audience at Pakistan Television's Lahore Studios as Tahira Syed sings Ahmad Faraz's Urdu Ghazal "Yeh Alam Shauq Ka Daykha Na Ja-ay". I was a middle school kid when I watched this as a live transmission during the 1970s in Lahore.

I would like to thank M. Tauseef for uploading this rare video clip. However, that having been said, it must also be remembered that the video itself is the property of the people of Pakistan as Pakistan Television is a government run corporation subsidized by Pakistani citizens taxpayer money.
