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.

Hi
Thanks for your knowledgeable comments and expositions of Sahir's poetry. I am requesting your indulgence in the following. All of us know Sahir's famous song in 'Pyasa': " Jinhen naaz hai Hind pr weh kahana hain?' Sahir had written a poem titled 'Chakle' in which above line originally was written as 'Sanakhane takdeese Mashriq kahan hain?' ( I hope my transliteration of the line is good enough). Cam some one explain the meaning of the words and the line. By the way I have walked through those streets of Ludhiana where those chakle Sahir has written about, are located. I was an adolescent kid in the early 1950's and was told by adults that side streets of Chaura Bazaar had those chakle before independence. To me in my adolescence Chakla was the flat round bread maker part of Punjabi Chakla and Velna. I had no concept then of what Sahir's lament was about.Reading this and some other poems by him brings back the memory and flavor of 1950's Ludhiana that permeates some of his poetry.Harjinder This post has been edited by Harjinder: Nov 15 2009, 05:18 AM |

In the interview, it was revealed that pyaasa script was written in 1947 and that he has a copy except for the first page. The interview also talked about Jinhen Naaz Hai Hind Per original poem being persian or something. |
