Few of us actively realise it, but Sahir Ludhianvi has been the soundtrack to most Indian lives. The poet and lyricist, whose given name was Abdul Hai Fazl Mohammad, took the pen name of Sahir from a couplet he read by Allama Iqbal.
And now, he has been resurrected. Actor-director Danish Husain is bringing the production of his semi-autobiographical play—Main Pal Do Pal Ka Shayar Hoon—on Ludhianvi, back this April on popular demand. “A common feedback I receive from the audience who watch the play, is that they never knew that a certain song or a couplet was penned by Ludhiavni,” says Husain, speaking to us over the phone. He could be referring to songs like Abhi Na Jao Chhod Kar, Ae Mere Zohra Jabeen, Kabhi Kabhi Mere Dil Mein.
