Hi
I am starting a topic on Sahir Ludhianvi that has been posted in another forum before. It was started on his death anniversary, a nostalgia trip beginning with some of his romantic lyrics. Feel free to add on songs that make you feel mmmm....warm and woolly-headed ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Remembering him through his romantic duets: Situation: Dream Sequence. To expand upon it: the impoverished hero and the heroine express their love for each other in gorgeous surroundings, which would otherwise not be possible given the hero's depressing penury. Moreover the situation is literally a dream, which is not realised as the heroine later on opts for a more stable marriage with a well established publisher. Note the wonderful lyrics, the entire song is posed as question upon question with the female counteracting the male's romantic metaphors with her teasing counter images... Wonderfully captures the mood of the film and yet stands on its own as classic romantic chedkhani. Hum aap ki aankhon mein is dil ko basa dein to Hum moond ke palkon ko is dil ko saza dein to Hum aap ki aankhon mein is dil ko basa dein to In zulfon mein goondege hum phool mohabbat ke Zulfon ko jhatak kar hum yeh phool gira dein to Hum aap ko kwaabon mein la la ke satayenge Hum aap ki aankhon se neendein hi uda de to Hum aap ke kadmon par gir jayenge ghas khakar Is par bhi na hum apne aanchal ki hawa dein to Hum aap ki aankon mein is dil ko basa dein to Hum moond ke palkon ko is dil ko saza dein to "This isn't right, this isn't even wrong."

Its indeed thrilling to see a very informed discussion and analysis of some of the finest Urdu lyrics written in the annals of Hindi Film Industry, by Shair-e-Azam Sahir Ludhianvi. Unfortunately a hectic work schedule doesn't permit me to contribute as frequently as some of you are doing but I am indeed grategul for this enriching experience.
I would like to reiterate what I wrote about a year back in the same thread but under a different title, Sahir - A Great Lyricist "Given the all pervading crass commercialism in our society leading to younger minds running after professions which would fetch millions in salaries or profits and completely ignoring the study of languages, it is highly unlikely that 21 century will ever see the emergence of young poets in any language, leave alone the geniuses of the caliber of Sahir. So let's be thankful that we lived in an age in which Sahir bestowed upon us the finest Urdu ghazals and nazms, many of which became even more memorable as they were set to music and sung by legendary music directors and singers of our times."

Pradeep Pradeep thank you for the wonderfully expressed paragraph about Sahir. Whenever you have the time, please do share your comments on Sahir, it would be much appreciated by all us Sahir fans.
