Re: Sahir Ludhianvi - Birthday Special
Sahir Ludhianvi (Urdu: ساحر لدھیانوی; Devanagari: साहिर लुधियानवी) (8 March 1921 – 25 October 1980) was a popular Urdu poet and Hindi lyricist and songwriter. Sahir Ludhianvi is his pseudonym. He won the Filmfare Award twice, in 1964 and 1977, and in 1971 was awarded the Sahir Ludhianvi was born into the wealthy family of a Muslim Gujjar[3] as Abdul Hayee on 8 March 1921 in Ludhiana, Punjab in India [4]. His mother name was Sardar Begum. Sahir's parents had a very loose and estranged relationship. In 1934, when he was thirteen years old, his father married for the second time. At that time, his mother decided to take the bold step of leaving her husband, forfeiting all claims to the financial assets. Sahir's father then sued his mother for child custody but lost. He threatened to make sure Sahir did not live with his mother very long, even if that meant taking the child's life.[5] Sahir's mother then found friends who kept a close watch on him and didn't let him out of sight. Fear and financial deprivation surrounded the formative years of this young man. His parents' divorce brought him and his mother face to face with poverty and struggle in life.
The house where Sahir was born, a red sand-stone haveli, stands in Karimpura, a Muslim neighborhood of Ludhiana, with a small plaque announcing its importance upon the arched mughal darwaaza — the only effort by the city to remember him.
Sahir studied at and graduated from Khalsa High School in Ludhiana. Upon matriculation, he joined the Satish Chander Dhawan Government College For Boys, Ludhiana, from which he was famously expelled within the year 'for sitting in the Principal's lawn with a female class-mate'.[6][7]. He was quite popular for his ghazals and nazms in the college. About his expulsion from college, some accounts erroneously mention Amrita Pritam as that girl, but she never lived in Ludhiana. They met after the partition of India, when she arrived in Delhi from Lahore in 1947.
His most famous love affair, however, was with Amrita Pritam, who became his most ardent fan. She has openly acknowledged her love for Sahir in interviews and her books.[8] Apart from Amrita, several other women too came in his life but he could never decide on accepting any of those as his life partner. He remained a bachelor all his life.[9]
In 1943, after being expelled from college, Sahir settled in Lahore. Here, he completed the writing of his first Urdu work, Talkhiyaan ("Bitterness"). He then began searching for a publisher and, after two years, he found a one in 1945. After his work was published, he began editing four Urdu magazines, Adab-e-Lateef, Shahkaar, Prithlari, and Savera; these magazines became very successful.[citation needed] He then became a member of the Progressive Writer's Association. However, inflammatory writings (communist views and ideology) in Savera resulted in the issuing of a warrant for his arrest by the Government of Pakistan. So, during in 1949, Sahir fled from Lahore to Delhi. After a couple of months in Delhi, he moved to and settled in Bombay. A friend of his recalls Sahir telling him "Bombay needs me!"

Tu kisi aur ki jageer hai aaey jaan-e-ghazal**
log toofaan uttha deiN geiN, mere saath na chal
Pehley haq tha teri chahat ke chaman par mera
pehley haq tha teri khushboo-e-badan par mera
ab mera pyar tere pyar ka haq'daar nahiN
meiN tere gaisoo-o-ruKhsaar ka haq'daar nahiN
ab kisi aur ke shanooN par hey tera aanchal
meiN tere pyar se ghar apna basaaooN kesey
meiN teri maang sitarooN se sajaooN kesey
meri qismat meiN nahi pyar ki khushboo shayad
mere hathooN ki lakeerooN maiN nahi tu shayad
apni taqdeer banaa, mera muqaddar na badal
Mujh se kehteiN heiN yeh khamosh nigaheiN teri
meri parvaaz se ooncheeN heiN panaahaiN teri
aur ghairat-e-ehsaas pey sharminda hooN
ab kisi aur ki bahoN meiN heiN baaheiN teri
ab kahaN mera thikana hey, kahan tera mehal!
