Mohib February 28, 2007 at 2:25 am: Thanks, Adnan bhai!
the illusionist March 1, 2007 at 9:06 am: im fond of this one too.. but if you call this the best nazm ever, Faiz will rise from the dead and beat you and I will support him
Mohib March 1, 2007 at 7:00 pm: I forgot to add ‘from Bollywood’.
Mohib March 2, 2007 at 10:58 pm: On second thoughts, Faiz’s poetry has not appeared in many Bollywood movies and I am wondering about the reason. Is it because we don’t make socially relevant movies anymore or is Faiz’s Persianised Urdu is an issue?

I just remember that song ‘ye safar bahut hai kaThin magar’ from 1942 – A Love Story which used Faiz’s following couplet:

dil na ummiid to nahiiN naakaam hii to hai
lambii hai Gham kii shaam magar shaam hii to hai
