Re: who would be the urdu poet of the century?

why doesnt anyone bring up nasir kazmi????
arjay saheb, u definitely must have met him too.... how cud u forget him????

*dil dharrakne ka sabab yaad aaya
woh teri yaad thee ab yaad aaya

aaj mushkil tha sambhalna ay dost
tu museebat me ajab yaad aaya

din guzaara thaa barri mushkil se
phir tera wada-e-shab yaad aaya

tera bhoola huwa paiman-e-wafa
mar jayein ge agar ab yaad aaya

phir kayee log nazar se guzray
phir koyee shehar-e-tarab yaad aaya

haal-e-dil hum bhee sunaatay lekin
jab woh rukhsat huway tab yaad aaya

baith kar saya-e-gul me nasir
hum bahut roye woh jab yaad aaya*

just to remind of my position on the thread:
best urdu poet: ghalib
best urdu poet of the 20th century: iqbal (he can also come at #2 after ghalib for overall ratings)
