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.

Jab Bhi Koi Gareeb Ki Beti
Zar-Parsaton Mein Bechi Jaayegi
Jab Bhi Muflis Kisaan Ki Kheti
Karz Ke Badle Chheeni Jaayegi

Jab Bhi Do Pyaar Karne Waalon Ko
Rasm-e-Duniya Na Raas Aayegi
Jab Bhi Ulfat Ke Beqaraaron Ko
Shaam-e-Tanhaai Bakhshi Jaayegi

Jab Bhi Ubharega Inqalaab Koi
Jab Bhi Jaagenge Zulm Ke Maare
Jab Bhi Uthega Bekason Ka Hujoom
Aur Badalenge Waqt Ke Dhaare

Surkh Parcham Uthaaye Haathon Mein
Tumko Apne Kareeb Paayenge
Sab Tumhaare Hi Geet Gaayenge!__________ Raina Sehri
