Simplegal, you are right, Sahir Ludhianvi is one of the talented lyricists in India, he simply rocks. Above posted is one of my all time favourite songs, main pal do pal kaa saayar hu, pal do pal meri kahaani hai............. so true.... and the poem (saayari) amitabh recites in his unique style had made this song a master piece. Nepe jee, your taste of music is unmatchable and you seem to have a good collection too. The song from waqt is a masterpiece, a popular romantic piece among 'not so young' couples. And ya, I didn't know Sahir Ludhianvi was an atheist. Nepchi, tere bina zindagi se koi sikawaa to nahi..... wah wah wah... Now here is one more from my side, one of my all time favourites, the universal truth of life.... zindagi ke safar me bichad jaate hai jo mukaam woh fir nahi aate, woh fir nahi aate....
