India’s Pride

Gulzar

World Poetry Day (21st March) celebrates the rich cultural heritage of poetry and recognizes its unparalleled ability to capture the essence of the human experience. We take this as an opportunity to honor Urdu poet Gulzar.

Gulzar (Sampooran Singh Kalra) is an Indian Urdu poet, lyricist, author, screenwriter, and film director known for his works in Hindi cinema. He is regarded as one of the greatest Urdu poets of this era.
He started his career as a songwriter with music director S. D. Burman for the movie 'Bandini'; and his first film as a director was 'Mere Apne'.
Gulzar was awarded the Sahitya Akademi Award for Urdu in 2002, the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2013, and the Padma Bhushan in 2004. His song “Jai Ho” from Slumdog Millionaire received an Oscar in 2009 and a Grammy in 2010. In 2023 he won the 2023 Jnanpith Award.
In poetry, he invented a new genre ‘Triveni’ which is a non-mukaffa poem of three lines. He has also paid serious attention to children's poetry; giving the famous children’s story "Jungle Book", the title song ‘Jungle Jungle baat chali hai pata chala hai.
He has also written poems and dialogues for "Alice in Wonderland" and "Potli Baba". He is also the founder of Aarushi, an organization for physically challenged children, and Eklavya, an NGO working for education.
