Description
A Collection of 51 Ghazals of Shakeel Badauni Translated by Khwaja Tariq Mahmood. The book contain original Urdu text, Roman and Hindi transliteration and poetical translation into English.
Shakeel Badauni had been writing songs for Hindi / Urdu films for a very long time. In those years, he gave very healthy and meaningful songs to our films. Film Legend Dalip Kumar says, he had the privilege of working in many of the films in which Shakeel had contributed lyrics, prominently being Mela, Babul, Deedar, Urankhatola, Aan, Amar, Kohi-Noor, Ganga Jamuna, Mughal-E-Azam..
Late Arzoo Lakhnavi had laid foundation of writing literary and high leveled songs in films, and it was then Shakeel who followed the tradition. And this made him a great poet of Indian films, and more so of Urdu language.
