Re: Nasir Kazmi
I think he probably wrote some songs for Pakistani movies too
Re: Nasir Kazmi
Some posts on Nasir Kazmi from a thread discussing poetry that was used in Pakistani movies and dramas
Nasir Kazmi was famous for his beautiful ghazals in ‘chhoti behr’. His ghazals like ‘Dil dharakne ke sabab yaad aya’, ‘Phir Sawan rut ki pawan chali’ , ‘Dil main ek lehr si uthi hai abhi’, 'and ‘Nae Kapde Badal kar jaon kahan’ became hit through PTV music programs. I used to thought that famous ghazal ‘Jab se Tune mujhe deewana bana rakha hai’ sung by Abida Parveen is the kalam of Nasir Kazmi, but its written by Hakeem Nasir.
The only kalam of Nasir Kazmi that I remember was used in Drama and movies are:
(1) Gaye Dino a suragh le kar kidhar se aya kidhar gaya wo, in PTV serial ‘Manoos Ajnabi’. The version used in drama is not available online, however, its sung by many singers including Ghulam Ali, Asha Bhosle, Parvez Mehdi, Habib Wali Muhammad, but I like the version sung by Masood & Sheelo Khan.
(2) Gham hai ya khushi hai tu originally sung by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was used in Indian movie ‘Kartoos’ in the voice of Alka Yagnik.
(3) Ab ke baar poonam main sung by Pervez Mehdi / Asif Ali was later on used/misused in Indian movie ‘Jaanasheen’
Re: Nasir Kazmi
^ seeing your knowledge of Pakistani arts scene, dramas and poetry initially I used to think that you are working in PTV or some other arts related place.
Re: Nasir Kazmi
lols. PTV is no more the better place for such talent now
Re: Nasir Kazmi
^ maybe, haven’t watched it in ages. But our golden period was during 80s and 90s due to PTV, now everything has been commercialised.
Re: Nasir Kazmi
PTV’s policies promoted this commercialisation and killed art and artists.
