Irshad Kamil is walking on cloud nine. Not only is his latest writing, Saiyaara title track, a chartbuster, but the lyricist also continues to enjoy the fruit of his last year`s work, Amar Singh Chamkila. Kamil leads the nominations in the best lyricist category at the upcoming edition of the Screenwriters Association (SWA) Awards. "These days, it feels like I am in heaven," he smiles. 

Kamil has bagged five out of six nominations for his songs in filmmaker Imtiaz Ali`s musical biopic, including Baaja, Vida Karo, Naram Kaalja, Bol Mohabbat, and Ishq Mitaye. Interestingly, these are five out of six tracks in the much-loved album. 

"I am thinking that I did not write a bad sixth song. That was also good," he chuckles before adding on a serious note, "I don`t see this is as domination, but appreciation. And appreciation is the real inspiration for a creative mind. I am humbled by these multiple nominations."
