He has given more than one song to Hindi cinema so far. No one has been able to compete with Gulzar till date. You will be surprised to know that Gulzar once worked as a car mechanic in the garage and used to write poems in his spare time. Today, on the special occasion of Gulzar's birthday, we have brought for you his most special poems so far-
Dekhi, Aahista Chalo!
Dekho, aahista chalo, aur bhi aahista zara,
Dekhana, soch-sanbhal kar zara paav rakhana,
Zor se baj na uthe pairon ki aavaaz kahi.
Kaanch ke khvaab hain bikhare hue tanhai mein,
Khvaab toote na koi, jaag na jaaye dekho,
Jaag jaayega koi khvaab to mar jaega.
Maut to ek kavita hai!
Maut to ek kavita hai.
Mujhse ek kavita ka vaada hai milegi mujhko,
Doobatee nabzon mein jab dard ko nind aane lage
Zard sa chehra liye jab chaand uphak tak pahunche
Din abhi pani mein ho, raat kinaare ke kareeb
Na andhera na ujaala ho, na abhi raat na din
Jism jab khatm ho aur rooh ko jab saans aae
Mujhase ek kavita ka vaada hai milegee mujhako
Boliye surili boliyaan
Boliye surili boliyaan,
Khatti meethi aankhon ki rasili boliyaan.
Raat mein ghole chaand ki mishri,
Din ke gam namakeen lagate hain.
Namakeen aankhon ki nashili boliyaan,
Goonj rahe hain doobate sae.
Shaam ki khushboo haath na aae,
Goonjti aankhon ki nashili boliyaan.
Khuda
Poore ka poora aakaash ghuma kar baazi dekhi maine
Kaale ghar mein sooraj rakh ke,
Tumne shayad socha tha, mere sab mohare pit jaayenge,
Maine ek chirag jala kar,
Apna rasta khol liya.
Tumne ek samandar haath mein le kar, mujh par thel diya.
Maine nooh ki kashti uske upar rakh di,
Kaal chala tumne aur meri jaanib dekha, Mainne kaal ko tod qe lamha-lamha jeena sikh liya.
Meri khudi ko tumne chand chamatkaaron se maarana chaha,
Mere ik pyaade ne tera chaand ka mohara maar liya
Maut ki shah de kar tumne samajha ab to maat hui,
Maine jism ka khol utaar ke saump diya,
Aur rooh bacha li,
Poore-ka-poora aakaash ghuma kar ab tum dekho baazi
Amaltas
Khidaki pichhavaade ko khulati to nazar aata tha,
Wo amalatas ka ik ped, zara door, akela-sa khada tha,
Shaakhen pankhon ki tarah khole hue.
Ek parinde ki tarah,
Baragalaate the use roz parinde aakar,
Sab sunaate the vi paravaaz ke kisse usko,
Aur dikhate the use ud ke, kalaabaaziyaan kha ke, Badaliyaan chhoo ke batate the, maze thandi hava ke!
Aandhi ka haath pakad kar shayad.
Usne kal udane ki koshish ki thi,
Aundhe munh bich-sadak aake gira hai!!
