I consider two lyricists/poets clearly a cut above the rest, though their approach to poetry is very different. Sahir ludhianvi was a revolutionary, his songs make you think, question and revolt like no one else's can. and then there is Gulzar, who blends reality with abstraction to perfection.
Sometimes, I find myself in a blissful state, where I could completely forget my existence and just enjoy each and every moment of it. and more often than not, such a moment is accompanied by a song that I love. Gulzar's lyrics over the years has provided many such beautiful moments.
Gulzar creates magic in this song, and Suresh Wadkar's voice is as sweet as nectar.
Listen to the song here or here.
surmayee shaam is tarah aaye
saans lete hai, jis tarah saaye
koi aahat nahin, badan ki kahin
phir bhi lagtaa hai, too yahin hain kahin
waqt jaataa sunaayi deta hain
tera saaya dikhaayi deta hain
jaise khushboo nazar se chhoo jaaye
din ka jo bhi pehar guzarta hain
koi ehsaan sa utarta hain
waqt ke paanv dekhtaa hoon main
roz ye chaanv dekhtaa hoon main
aaye jaise koi khayaal aaye
saans lete hai, jis tarah saaye
-Gulzar

Beautiful song! Thanks for sharing it..
Every word is so true about Gulzar :)
and Suresh Wadkar has sung some amazing numbers wrtten by Gulzar :)
liked this one :)
Cheers
it is a beautiful song, too lovely in fact - and suresh wadkar has sung it with such feeling, just listen to the way he says 'saans lete hai', he is a fantastic singer and hasn't got the attention he deserves perhaps because he doesn't seek popularity. Gulzar's lyrics are of course, superb
