The whole nation is in mourning due to the demise of Bharat Ratna and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who held the post of country's prime minister three times, was also very popular among his opponents. Atal, who passed through 93 years of age, was considered as a great politician, he also contributed his artistic contribution to society as a poet.
Eighteen years ago, he received the Screen Awards for an album of his poems. Atal Bihari Vajpayee won the Screen Award for Best Lyricist for his album in 2000. Significantly, these albums were released in 1999 and songs from the album were sung by Ghazal singer Jagjit Singh. This album also includes the famous poem of Atal ji 'aao phir se diya jalaen'. At the beginning of 2000, Ananya Goenka of Indian Express Group then honoured Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee with Best Non-Film Lyrics Award. In fact, due to being busy at that time, he was not present at the awards, so the award was given to him at his residence.
Here are the linesz of his famous and impeccable work:
aao phir se diya jalaen
bharee dupaharee mein andhiyaara
sooraj parachhaee se haara
antaratam ka neh nichoden-
bujhee huee baatee sulagaen.
aao phir se diya jalaen
ham padaav ko samajhe manzil
lakshy hua aankhon se ojhal
vatarmaan ke mohajaal mein-
aane vaala kal na bhulaen.
aao phir se diya jalaen.
aahuti baakee yagy adhoora
apanon ke vighnon ne ghera
antim jay ka vazr banaane-
nav dadheechi haddiyaan galaen.
aao phir se diya jalaen
