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.

Ae Mohabbat Tere Anjaam Pe Rona Aaya
Jaane Kyon Aaj Tere Naam Pe Rona Aaya

Yoon Toh Har Shaam Ummeedon Mein Guzar Jaati Thi
Aaj Kuchh Baat Hai Jo Shaam Se Rona Aaya

Kabhi Taqdeer Ka Maatam, Kabhi Duniya Ka Gila
Manzil-e-Ishq Mein Har Gaam Pe Rona Aaya

Jab Hua Zikr Zamaane Mein Mohabbat Ka "Shakeel"
Mujhko Apne Dil-e-Nakaam Pe Rona Aaya_____________Shakeel Badayuni



Kabhi Khud Pe, Kabhi Halaat Pe Rona Aaya
Baat Nikali Toh Har Ek Baat Pe Rona Aaya

Hum Toh Samjhe The Ke Hum Bhool Gaye Hain Unko
Kya Hua Aaj Yeh Kis Baat Pe Rona Aaya

Kis Liye Jeete Hain Hum, Kiske Liye Jeete Hain
Ba-rah Aise Sawalaat Pe Rona Aaya

Kaun Rota Hai Kisi Aur Ki Khatir Ae Dost
Sabko Apni Hi Kisi Baat Pe Rona Aaya______________Sahir Ludhianvi

Anupama..Thanks a ton for the continued education.
Amazing contrasts and similarities between Sahir and Shakeel. What is startling is the simplicity of the words of Sahir. It is at once endearing and heart breaking. Sarcasm when it comes from these Geniuses, gives it a total color...which makes us contemplate and may be better ourselves. Am getting really hooked on to this lyrics...like never before.
