गुलज़ार- Celebrating his 75th Birthday today!

Gulzar.....the legend celebrating his 75 birthday today. I always wonder how a versatile person can be....! He is a poet, a lyricist, a director. He is comfortable in making strokes on a larger canvas where its Anand, Machis, Gharonda, Ijjajat, masoom, and other side bunty bubbli, sathiya, 7 khoon maaf. One side songs from Aandhi, guddi, Parichay, bandini, lekin and other side total filmy like Raavan, Omkara, veer, kaminey....


He is great. Essence of life in few and simple words. Sharing one of my favorite from the great poet. 



ek puraanaa mausam lauTaa yaad bharii puravaa_ii bhii
aisaa to kam hii hotaa hai vo bhii ho tanahaa_ii bhii

yaado.n kii bauchhaaro.n se jab palake.n bhiigane lagatii hai.n
kitanii sau.Ndhii lagatii hai tab maa.Njhii kii rusavaa_ii bhii

do do shaqle.n dikhatii hai.n is bahake se aa_iine me.n
mere saath chalaa aayaa hai aap kaa il saudaa_ii bhii

Khaamoshii kaa haasil bhii ik lambii sii Khaamoshii hai
un kii baat sunii bhii hamane apanii baat sunaa_ii bhii

  2. Anand was Hrishikesh Mukherjee's; not Gulzar's.
