Sahir Ludhianvi's is my favourite poet.To common man he is known as a film lyricist, and perhaps a romantic poet. Here i want to  talk about some his lyrics from two movies in which he has spoken clearly about his sentiments which are still a sort of landmark in pacifist poetry.We see every single day blood shed, voilence and so forth..and these two songs really say a lot....


one of his poems that was used in  the film "Taj Mahal", released in 1963.  Although the film  itself had the legendary love of Shah JahaaN and Mumtaz Mahal as its theme, this poem is an intrinsic part of the narrative, set to haunting music by the late maestro Roshan.


    KHudaa-e-bartar, teri zameeN par zameeN ki KHaatir yeh jaNg kyoN hai
    Har ek fat'h-o-zafar ke daaman pe KHoon-e-insaaN ka raNg kyoN hai


    ZameeN bhi teri, haiN hum bhi tere, yeh milkeeyat ka sawaal kya hai
    Yeh qatl-o-KHooN ka rivaaj kyoN hai, yeh rasm-e-jaNg-o-jadaal kya hai


    GHareeb maaoN, shareef behnoN ko amn-o-'izzat ki zindagi de
    JinheN 'ata ki hai tu ne taaqat, unheN hidaayat ki raushni de


                 SiroN men kibr-o-GHuroor kyoN hai
                 DiloN ke sheeshe pe zaNg kyoN hai


    Qaza ke raste pe jaane waaloN ko bach ke aane ki raah dena
    DiloN ke gulshan ujaR na jaayeN, mohabbatoN ko panaah dena


                 JahaaN men jashn-e-wafa ke badle
                 Yeh jashn-e-teer-o-tufaNg kyoN hai


    KHudda-e-bartar, teri zameeN par zameeN ki KHaatir yeh jaNg kyoN hai




2. and the second one is from movie "hum dono'in this he had voiced the same sentiments in a
        bhajan    And the bhajan is :


                Allah tero naam, ishwar tero naam
                Sab ko sanmati de bhagwaan


                Is dharti ka roop na ujRe
                Pyaar ki ThanDi dhoop na ujRe
                Sab ko mile daata sukh ka vardaan
                     Sab ko sanmati de bhagwaan


                MaaNgoN ka sindoor na chhooTe
                Maa'behnoN ki aas na TooTe
                Deh bina daata bhaTkeN na praan
                     Sab ko sanmati de bhagwaan


                O saare jag ke rakhwaale
                Nir'bal ko bal dene waale
                BalwaanoN ko de de gyaan
                     Sab ko sanmati de bhagwaan


                Allah tero naam, ishwar tero naam......
