Lyrics and Bollywood

In 1945 Khumar went to Bombay to attend a mushaira. Film Director A.R. Kardar and music director Naushad were present there. They listened poetry of Khumar and were impressed by his ghazals. Kardar who was making ‘Shahjahan’ with Naushad as music director, offered him to write few songs for his films and he agreed. Songs of ‘Shajahan’ film were written by Majrooh Sutanpuri and Khumar Barabankvi. Songs of both the writers became super hit. In Bollywood, singers like K.L.Sehgal, Mohd. Rafi, Talat Mehmood, Lata Mangeshkar, Shamshad Begum, Geeta Dutt Have given voice to his poetry. With his song ‘Chaah Barbad Kare Gi Hamein Maaloom Na Tha’ sung by Sehgal for film ‘Shahjahan’ released in 1946, he gained fame and recognition in Bollywood. In 1949, he wrote ‘Tum Ho Jaao Hamaare’ sung by Mohd Rafi, in ‘Roop Lekha’ and ‘Hasrat Bhari Nazar Ko Tera Intezar’ sung by Geeta Dutt and Zohra Khan in ‘Dil Ki Basti’.

Though he was a successful songwriter, he always preferred to attend mushairas than devoting time to write lyrics for films. Besides this, he was annoyed with the falling standards of poetry in films, so he kept himself away from Bollywood for quite long time.

Selected poems

bujh gayaa dil hayaat baaqii hai

bujh gayaa dil hayaat baaqii hai ; chhup gayaa chaand raat baaqii hai

hal-e-dil un se kah chuke sau baar ; ab bhii kahane kii baat baaqii hai

raat baaqii thii jab vo bichhade the ; kaT gaii umr raat baaqii hai

ishq main ham nibhaa chuke sab se ai 'Khumar'; bas ek zaalim hayaat baaqii hai

ai maut! unhe.n bhulaaye zamaane guzar gaye

ai maut! unhen bhulaaye zamaane guzar gaye ; aa jaa ki zahar khaaye zamaane guzar gaye

O jaane vaale aa ki tere intazaar men ; raste ko ghar banaaye zamaane guzar gaye

Gam hai na ab Khushii hai na ummiid hai na yaas ; sab se najaat paaye zamaane guzar gaye

kyaa laayaq-e-sitam bhii nahii ab main doston ; patthar bhii ghar men aaye zamaane guzar gaye

jaane bahaar phuul nahii aadamii huun main ; aa jaa ki muskuraaye zamaane guzar gaye

kyaa kyaa tavaqqo_at thii aahon se ai 'Khumar'; ye tiir bhii chalaaye zamaane guzar gaye

aisaa nahii ki un se mohabbat nahii rahii

aisaa nahii ki un se mohabbat nahii rahii ; jazbaat men vo pahalii sii shiddat nahii rahii

sar mein vo intazaar kaa saudaa nahii rahaa ; dil par vo dharkano kii hukuumat nahii rahii

paiham tavaaf-e-kuuchaa-e-jaanaa ke din gaye; pairon men chalane phirane kii taaqat nahii rahii

chehare kii jhurriyo ne bhayaanak banaa diyaa; aaiinaa dekhane kii bhii himmat nahii rahii

kam_zorii-e-nigaah ne sanjiidaa kar diya ; jalvo se chhed-chhaad kii aadat nahii rahii

allaah jaane maut kahaa mar gaii 'Khumar'; ab mujh ko zindagii kii zaruurat nahii rahii
