Gulzar

As Lyricist

Gulzar is best known in India as a lyricist for songs that form an integral part of Bollywood films. He began his career under the film-directors Bimal Roy and Hrishikesh Mukherjee. He started his career as a songwriter with the music director Sachin Dev Burman for the film Bandini (1963). Shailendra who has penned rest of the songs of the film urged Gulzar to write the song "Mora Gora Ang Layle". Picturised on Nutan, the song became instant hit and is now counted in classics. Gulzar would write more successful songs from his association with Sachin Dev Burman's son Rahul Dev Burman, whom he described as the anchor in his life.

Gulzar has had award-winning associations with the music directors Salil Chowdhury (Anand, Mere Apne), Madan Mohan (Mausam) and more recently with Vishal Bhardwaj (Maachis, Omkara, Kaminey), A. R. Rahman (Dil Se, Guru, Slumdog Millionaire, Raavan) and Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy (Bunty aur Babli).

Gulzar was a song writer or dialogue writer for several Doordarshan programmes for kids such as Jungle Book, Alice in Wonderland, Guchche and Potli Baba Ki with Vishal Bhardwaj. He has more recently written and narrated for the children's audiobook series Karadi Tales. For the peace campaign (Aman ki Asha) jointly started by India's and Pakistan's leading media houses, he wrote the anthem "Nazar Main Rehte Ho", which was recorded by Shankar Mahadevan and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.

Hum Ko Maan Ki Shakti Dena, Maan Vijay Kare

Lakdi Ki Kathi, Kathi Pe Ghoda Chaddi Pehenke Phool Khila Hai O Papadwale, Panga Na Le

Goli Maar Bheje Mein
