SHAKEEL BADAYUNI- Lo Aa Gai Unki Yaad

 

He was a great lyricist of the Golden Era of Bollywood. That was the time when most of the poets were writing about the downtrodden sections of society, their upliftment, the betterment of society, and depressive songs. But Shakeel had an altogether different taste – his poetry was romantic and close to the heart.

in his first film, he wrote the song Afsana Likh Rahi Hoon. sung by Uma Devi(TunTun), became immortal, In the 1949 film Dulari, he wrote 'Suhani Raat Dhal Chuki'.He was the lyricist of many immortal songs 'Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya' , 'Chaudvin Ka Chand Ho Ya Aftab Ho', Husnwale Tera Jawab Nahin' (Gharana), 'Kahin Deep Jale Kahin Dil' (Bees Saal Baad), or 'Mere Mehboob Tujhe Meri Mohabbat Ki Kasam' 

Shakeel shared a close friendship with Naushad, he and Naushad became one of the most sought-after composer/lyricist duos in the industry. Among the scores they churned out together, are those of Deedar (1951), Baiju Bawra (1952), Mother India (1957), and Mughal-e-Azam (1960), that stand out.
