Khwaabon Ka Shehzaada - Sahir Ludhianvi, on his 28th death anniversary Options Rating

[Anupama]

Today is Sahir Ludhianvi's 28th death anniversary. Sahir once said, "Kal Aur Aayenge Naghmon Ki Khilti Kaliyaan Chun-ne Waale, Mujhse Behtar Kehne Waale, Tumse Behtar Sun-ne Waale", but how do we tell Sahir sahab that there hasn't been anyone who has proved to be a better poet than him. Talk about better, there isn't even anyone who has come close to Sahir Ludhianvi after him!
I wish he hadn't left us all so early. His presence and his thoughts would have made the Hindi Music World a better one. I pay tribute to this great poet!



Itni Jaldi Bhi Kya Thi Sahir Tum Ko Jaane Ki
Kuchh Aur Talkhiyaan Dekh Lete Zamaane Ki______Anupama


I'm posting, along with his pictures, some Nazmz that Sahir Ludhianvi's friends wrote after his demise.

Tumhaare Shehar Mein Aaye Hain Hum, Sahir Kahan Ho Tum
Yeh Rooh-Peshi Tumhaari Hai Sitam, Sahir Kahan Ho Tum?

Tumhaare Ghar Mein Aa Kar Hum Kabhi Pyaase Na Jaayenge
Uthaao Jaam, Kar Lo Honth Nam, Sahir Kahan Ho Tum?

Puraane Doston Se Ho Gaye Kyon Itne Begaane
Pukaaro Toh Kahin Se, Kam Se Kam, Sahir Kahan Ho Tum?

Meri Nazaron Mein Mere Dost, Ek Mandir Hai Ludhiana
Yeh Mandir Aur Hum Iske Sanam, Sahir Kahan Ho Tum?____________Kaifi Azmi
