Lets restart the journey into his Ghazals:

In addition, his god faring nature ensured that he also wrote the finest Bhajans in Hindi movies. Shakeel wrote about Love, Mohabbat, Ishq, Wafa, Ulfat it is as if he lived in a different world. All his contemporaries wrote about social inequalities, poverty, slavery and the like. We were a slave nation for 31 years of his 53 that he walked on this earth. My blog already has a number of articles on Shakeel Badayuni (‘Shakeel Badayuni – The King Amongst Lyricist And Poets – Part I’ ‘Shakeel Badayuni – The King Amongst Lyricist And Poets – Part II’, ‘The Best Of Old Hindi Songs – Rafi, Shakeel, Naushad And Dilip Kumar Together’, and ‘Another Tribute To Shakeel Badayuni In The Month Of His Death Anniversary’) If all people were your own (in the world) where would strangers find a place It is good that amongst own people there was an outsider tooĪgar hote sabhi apane to begaane kahan jaate? If the world would be just a garden, where would deserts find a placeĬhalo achha hua apano mein koi gair to nikala, If there was to be no sorrow, where would odes of ruin find a placeĪgar duniya chaman hoti to veeraane kahan jaate? Na milata gham to barbaadi ke afsaane kahan jaate? I call him the King of Irony since no one can write irony better than he did. I regularly put up Shakeel’s poetry with meanings so that more and more people can savour his excellence. On the 10th of January this year I started a Facebook group ‘Main Shayar To Nahin’ primarily to air my devotion for him and some other Urdu poets. This post is in continuation of my ‘Immortal Ghazals of Shakeel Badayuni – Part I’.
