name of any book of GULZAR the poetry king?

Answer 1

Oh I love Gulzar's poetry. Read these lines by Gulzar-

Aao Phir Nazm Kahen
Phir Kisi Dard Ko Sahla Ke Suja Le Ankhen
Phir Kisi Dukhti Rag Se Chhua De Nashtar
Ya Kisi Bhooli Huee Raah Pe Mudkar
Ek Baar Naam Lekar Kisi Hamnam Ko Awaz Hi De Le
Phir Koi Nazm Kahen

Roz sahil pe khade hoke yahi dekha hai
Shaam ka pighla hua surkh-sunhari rogan
Roz matiyale-se paani mein yeh ghul jaata hai

Roz sahil pe khade hoke yahi socha hai
Mein jo pighali huee rangeen shafaq ka rogan
Ponchh loo haathon pe

Aur chpuke se ik baar kabhi
Tere gulnaar se rukhsaaron pe chhap se mal doon
Shaam ka pighala hua surkh-sunhari rogan

Born in Deena(Now in Pakistan) on 18th August, 1934. After partition he came to Delhi. Gulzar - aka Sampooran Singh began his film career as an assistant to Bimal Roy. He also worked with Hrishikesh Mukherjee in the beginning of his career. He started writing songs for films with Bimal da's Bandini. Mora Gora Ang Layee Le is supposed to be his first song. Although His first film to be released was Kabuli Wala, which also had some all time greats like Ganga aaye kahan se. Bandini and Kabuliwala were followed by Sannata, Biwi aur Makan, Do Dooni Chaar and most notable of all Khamoshi and various others during 60's.

After getting recognition as a sensitive lyricist, he started writing scripts and stories for films. Then with Mere Apne in 1971, He turned Director. Since then he has given us lots of beautiful, serious and funny moments through his movies. He has written stories for around 60 films and directed 17 movies, each one a masterpiece.

During 1987-1996 he went away from the seen as he did only 7 films as lyricist and 2 as director in the span of 10 years. During this period he did one of the most outstanding jobs for the small screen, the serial called Mirza Ghalib, a tribute to the legendary poet. Mirza Ghalib will remain one of the most memorable TV productions for its music, direction, dialouges and portrayel of MG by Naseeruddin Shah. 1996 saw Gulzar back in action, behind the camera for the making of Maachis, a candor document on terrorism in Punjab. The success of Maachis, got Gulzar back to the film industry. After Maachis, he teamed up with new breed of music directors like AR Rahman, Anu Malik, Jatin Lalit, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. The magic of Dil Se's music won him yet another Filmfare award. His recent venture HU TU TU received critical acclaim. His next directional venture would be a Bangla film. Gulzar is back with his pen, in 2006 he has received best lyricist award at almost every major award function. and now writing lyrics for Omkara, Baat Pakki, Blue Umbrella, Guru, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom and Jaaneman with a couple of untitled films. He has recently did a tele serial on Munshi Premchand's works titled Tehrir... Munshi Premchand ki, which was on air recently..

Although films gave him a mass recognition, Poetry always remained his first love. His first poetry collection Ek Boond Chaand was published in 1962. Roopa - Harper Collins has recently published his new poetry book Triveni. A collection of Gulzar poems titled "Raat, Chaand aur Mein" was also released recently, covering poems related to only Raat and Chaand.Another peotry collection Raat Pashmine ki has recently been published in Pakistan. The Indian version of Raat Pashmine Ki is released later on Roopa-Harper. Mera Kuchh Samaan and Chhaiyya Chhaiyya are the two song collections of gulzar.

Rajkamal Prakashan is presently compiling the script of gulzar saab's films in the form of a book. The series is titled "Manjarnaama" Till daate five manjarnaamas are out including Libaas, Hututu, Aandhi, Khushbu and Meera. A few more manjarnaamas would be available in coming time.

Last few years are the years of experimentation, where many young artists from different faculties worked with Gulzar and provided new expressions to his work. Some of the notable experiments include Kharaashein - a play by Salim Arif on Gulzar's short stories, Udaas Paani - an experimental music album by Abhishek Ray and, Gulzar's Poetry on Canvas by a young Painter Ajay Kumar Samir. Kharaashein has now been published in the form of a book on Radhakrishna Prakashan. Meghna Gulzar has recently come up with a biographical sketch of Gulzar saab in the form of a book titled "Because He Is...". Recently he penned the theme song "Lau se lau jalti rahe" for Olympic Torch Relay event at New Delhi and "Chal dilli chalein chalna hai" for Commonwealth Games to be held in New Delhi in 2010.

Gulzar has won 5 National Awards and 18 Filmfare Trophies. For details check Katra-Katra Section on this site. He has been awarded the SAHITYA AKADEMY AWARD in 2003 for his collection of short stories "Dhuaan". FILMFARE has honoured him with a LifeTime Achievement Award for his contribution to Hindi Cinema in 2002.

Koi Baat Chale

Gulzar saab's Koi baat chalelatest albums with Jagjit Singh ji titled 'Koi Baat Chale' is out and available... The album was released on Sony-BMG last week.. The album features Ghazal, Poems (and for the first time Triveni's) composed by Jagjit Singh in the voice of Jagjit ji and recitation by Gulzar saab. A beautiful pack contains an audio CD, a lyric book (hindi and urdu script) and a special DVD (price 399) featuring the thoughts of gulzar saab and music video certainly adds value to the album.

2. Aap agar indino yahaan hote
3. Sahma sahma daraa
4. Phoolo.n ki tarah

8. Teri soorat jo bhari (Triveni's)

Jaan-e-Mann

The audio of gulzar saab's latest film (as lyricist) is out and available. The album features from good to average numbers in terms of compositions.. The orchestra is grand while it works for a couple of songs but in a couple of songJaan-e-muns the grand orchestra works against the melody and the effect of a good song and composition gets reduced to an average one..

The poetry is surprisingly simpler than usual gulzar saab's songs... The best song of the album is "ajanabi shahar hai, ajanabi shaam hai... zindagi ajanabi.... kya tera naam hai..".. Sau dard and Hamko maaloom hai (While Sadhana Sargam sounds quite melodious in the song, the (too much of) orchestra at places reduces the listening effect to some extent.. )) are another two decent numbers (in Sau dard Anu's experimentation with Sonu's voice (to rhyme in the theme music) could sound interesting but to my ears it falls flat ) while Jaane ke Jaane na is another enjoyable number. Check out the word play of gulzar saab and ofc sonu-sukhwinder combo in the song.. The track listing is as below:



1. Humko Maloom Hai - Sonu Nigam & Sadhna Sargam
2. Jaane Ke Jaane Na - Sonu Nigam, Sukhwinder Singh & Krishna

"I'm glad I went along. What I like about 'Mera Kuch Samaan' is that it has been very beautifully produced and packaged" Gulzar saab said. "I hope 'Mera Kuch Samaan' strikes a chord in music listeners' hearts. To assume that today's generations have lost touch with poetry and music is unfair. Let's not make excuses for mediocrity.

Ganga aaye kahan se
Mora gora ang layile
Tumhen zindagi ke ujaale mubarak
Bas ek chup si lagi hai
Hawaaon pe likh do
Ek tha bachpan
Tum pukar lo
Hamne dekhi hai un
Na jiyaa laage na
Jab bhi yue dil udaas hota hai
Meri jaan mujhe jaa na
Bole re papihara
Koi hota jisko apna
Musafir hoon yaaro
Tu jahan mile mujhe Dil dhoondhta hai
Tere bina zindagi se
O maajhi re
Naam gum jaayega
Ek akela is shahar me
Dhanno ki aankhon me
Dakiya daak laaya
Chand churake laya hoon
Aapki aankhon me kuchh
Aanewala pal
Kabhi kabhi sapna lagta
Hazaar raahein
Phir se aaiyo badra
Tujhse naraz nahin
Aye zindagi gale Mera kuchh saamaan
Yara seeli seeli
Dil hoom hoom kare
Sili hawa
Labon se choom lo
Chhod aaye hum
Chhaiyan chhaiyan
Ye lamha Filhaal
Aasman ke paar
Ye raat
Jaag ke kaati
Vatna ve
Chupke se
Kahte kahte Abhi na parda girao
Ibteda (Mirza Ghalib)
Dialogue (Mirza Ghalib)
Aah ko chahiye (Mirza Ghalib)
Shaam se aankh me
Rishte bante hain
Jane do mujhe
Dola ho dola
Aisa koi zindagi se
Ye subah saans legi
Khushboo jaise log
Sehma sehma dara dara

Gulzar saab preface me likhte hain..

"Mera kitaab se lagaav nahin jaata
Shuru shuru me jab kitaabein chhapi thee to badee tasalli hoti thi ki Kaapiyaan, dairiyon aur kaagazon ke purzo par likhi nazmein kisi manjil ko pahunch gaii. Kitaab tak pahunchte hi lagta tha, nazmein apne ghar pahunch gayee. Phir jaise aadami ghar badalta hai, kuchh nazmein bhi apna ghar badalne lagee. ek kitaab se beh ke wo doosri kitaab me pahunch gayee. Main ek kitaab, doosri kitaab me isliye udelta rahaa ki wakt ke saath saath nazmein mere zehan me baar baar chhanti rahee. shuru shuru me jyada keh jaata tha. wakt ke saath samajh me aaya ki kam kahane me jyada taasur hai. Jyada kahane se maani dilute ho jaate hain.. 'Jaanam' apna pahla majmua, devnagri me dekhane ke liye 'ek boond chhand' chhapee. Jab vo chhani to mota peesa hua nikal gayaa aur maaki maada agli kitab me udel diya... "Kuchh aur nazmein"

Yahaan : Music released by gulzar

Yahaan is the latest album with gulzar saab's lyrics. Although the sound track features 8 songs, there are only two songs penned by gulzar saab for the film. The music is composed by Parinita fame Shantanu Moitra who has worked ealier with gulzar saab in Leela. The album starts with a typical romantic gulzarish number 'poochhe jo koi meri nishani, rang hina likhana'. Although the opening lines sounds similar to the stanza's of "Chupke se" of Saathiya, the song moves on in great style. "Kabhi kabhi aas paas chaand rahta hai
Kabhi kabhi aas paas shaam rahti hai" paints two color of Kashmir of today. While chaand represents the romanticism, shaam means to be the udaas part of Kashmir.. The remix version of this song is no match to the original and should not have been included in the album. Shreya Ghoshal presents a lively number "Urzu Urzu Durkut". After listening these two numbers one desires for more gulzar songs, which unfortunately are not present in the album.

PAHELI : A Class Apart

Amol Palekar's latest film 'Paheli' presents the poetry of gulzar saab and the soulful compositions of MM Kreem together for the first time. 'Paheli' is based on a Rajasthani folk tale of Sh. Vijay daan detha and features Shahrukh Khan and Raani Mukherjee in the lead.

The listenings of Paheli music brings a refreshing change.. It is not one of the Kaal Dhamaals, or Dhoom Booms or the suger coated sweetners like Kal ho na ho, K3G or Main Hoon Naa's that have dominated the music space in the recent years still its one of the most honest (and authentic to an extent) attempts to create Rajasthani folk music that suits to a hindi film. Gulzar saab's lyrics are one of the high points of the album and the lines are tightly bound to the script. The instrumental pieces, interludes in almost all the songs is are the highlights of the album. The musical pieces, the lyrics and the rendition all three departments stands out in their own regime and none of them outscores the other aspect.

MIRZA GHALIB - A BIOGRAPHICAL SCENARIO

Gulzar saab has recently completed his new book, a tribute to Mirza Ghalib titled "Mirza Ghalib - A Biographical Scenario". The book features the life and times of the legendary poet from eighteenth century in an unusual manner. The sketches are drawn straight from the works of ghalib. The scenes and stories are created from ghalib's poetry couplets and nazms. Rather than telling the historical story of his times, gulzar saab's narrative is woven around ghalib's couplets and the scenarios are created to explain why and how ghalib had written his magical couplets, ghazals and nazms. On the release of the book gulzar saab described ghalib as one of the greatest poets ever lived.

"In sheer imagery, every bit of which has been derived from the sights and sounds of India, he reigns supreme. I am but his humble servant," said Gulzar.

"His other servants have passed away, as has Ghalib, but I am still in his service."

"In every age, people will turn to him for words whenever they want to find words to express the deepest passions of their heart"

The book is published by Rupa & Co and priced Rs. 395 and USD 8.50 respectively.

Khauff from Gulzar's books Raavi Par is a monologue about fear and its impact on the psyche of a normal person in anxiety. The third story Khuda Hafiz is a dramatisation of Samaresh Basu's Adab with Gulzar exploring the
relationships which evolve under the duress of a riot-afflicted situation.

Baanagi pesh hai

1.
Parchiyaan bant rahi hai galiyon mein
Apne qatil ka intekhaab karo

Waqt ye sakhta hai chunaav ka

2.
Naap ke, waqt bhara jaata hai, har rait ghadi mein
ik taraf khali ho jab phir se ulat dete hain usko

umra jab khatm ho, kya mujhko wo ulta nahin sakta?
