Gulzar, who became famous in the industry through his touching poems and songs, is celebrating his 84th birthday today. Gulzar was fond of writing since childhood. There is a different intoxication in every poem and song that touches everyone's heart. Gulzar started his career as a lyricist in the 60s with the film 'Bandini'. 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!!
