# Voiceover_ Saqib Manzoor After | English Shayar

Voiceover_ Saqib Manzoor After i attended live session of @apooarora and @parikshitjoshi_ about Sahir Ludhianvi sahab and Amrita Pritam's untold love story, i was curious to know more about Sahir Sahab. Then i came across this poem of Sahir Ludhianvi so decided to recite it. Not related to Amrita ji but Sudha Malhotra. Here is an interesting episode that relates with his love for Sudha Malhotra, the extremely talented celluloid singer. Their love for each other was genuine but social taboos came in-between. Sudha was betrothed and her wedding date was announced. This was precisely when some of Sahir’s friends organised an event one evening in his honour. In this mehfil of friends, Sudha too was invited. She joined the company of friends knowing quite well that this would be her last meeting with Sahir. In this special union of close friends, several of Sahir’s poems were recited. When they asked Sahir to recite his poems, he chose to recite one of his most celebrated nazms “Khubsoorat Mode” which has a very moving line chalo ik baar phir se ajnabi ban jaaein hum donon. After Sahir finished his passionate reading of this nazm, the audience appeared emotionally moved beyond all description. Faces turned sad, eyes went moist, and an unending silence prevailed. Interestingly, this poem was also used in the film Gumraah (1963). Source (Rekhta) Manish Sen POOJA UDESHI Anwesha Rath RJ_Keshvi kavita ranjan #Shayari
