Jinki ek lakeer pe bade se bada sitara chaiyyan chaiyyan karta hua rel ki raftaar ki tarah dil ko chu jaye. Unko salaam. Kyuki unki kalam se Corona me bhi zindagi kahi na kahi Gulzar hai.” Written like a poem, the post mentions some of the most popular Bollywood songs penned by Gulzar, from Chappa Chappa Charkha Chale (Maachis) and Chaiyya Chaiyya (Shah Rukh Khan-Preity Zinta-Manisha Koirala’s Dil Se).

I’ve had the privilege of being inspired by his craft over the years. Say thank you to those who help us get over our corona blues ... jinki wajah se aapki zindagi Gulzar hai.”
