Lyricist Sudarshan Fakir dead



Jalandhar, February 19
Renowned lyricist Sudarshan Fakir died here yesterday. He was 73.


The man who was loved by millions of ghazal fans across the world gave
a whole new perspective to love, life and melancholy through his
famous ghazals "ye kaghaz ki kashti...ye baarish ka pani" and "ishq mein
ghairate-jazbaat ne rone na diya" touched every chord of the human
heart.


The lyricist, who penned songs for stalwarts like Jagjit Singh and
Beghum Akhtar, passed away after a prolonged illness at a hospital
here on Monday night.


Spending the better part of his life in the city, Fakir did MA in
political science and English from DAV College, Jalandhar.


Active in dramatics and poetry right from his college days, he
directed Mohan Rakesh's "Ashaar ka ek din" during his youth, which was
said to be a hit with the city audience at that time.


He started working with the AIR, Jalandhar and later left for Bombay,
where he cut albums with many music maestros. Almost all albums by
Jagjit Singh, during the eighties, had ghazals by Fakir.


He also wrote lyrics for movies like Dooriyan and Prem Agan as well as
dialogues for the film 'Yalgaar'.


Sources said that the song, "Hum sab Bhartiya hain", which is sung at
the NCC camps across the country, was penned by him.


Jasbir Rishi, a lecturer in psychology at a local college and a
neighbour of his, said, "He was a man with a very high self-esteem. He
never compromised on small things."


"He loved watching cricket and liked leading a simple life," she
added.


Fakir is survived by his wife Sudesh, son Manav, daughter-in-law
Ishita and grandson Aryaman.


He was cremated at Model Town here in the afternoon.

May his soul rest in peace.

Really sad news. lyrics were very imp in Jagjit singh's ghazals. people loved his ghazals.


never knew "hum sab bhartiya" was by him.
How Can I forget " hum sab bhartiyan hain" . it wrong to call it as NCC song. it was a patriotic song and sung in schools during assembly time.

Years after passing out from school I can still recite this whole song .

Fakir saab ke baare mein log kam jaante hain. ......... yehi kafi galt hain

In school time I used to lot passionate abt India and all those things related to India. And loved singing those patriotic songs by heart.

Ajeeb baat hai...........thode din pehle hi mujhe pata chala ki ek song jo main school time mein kaafi josh ke saath gata tha wo hamaare kaviraj " Shailendra" ka likha hua tha. aur wo song hai " yeh waqt ki awaz hai mil ke chalo ".

Sudhershan ji ka song kaafi josh create karta tha. iska proof iske lyrics hai jisko main abhi bhi saalo baad kafi gaa sakta hoon. infact I loved this song so mch tht I made my lil niece learn it by heart.

Isse badi tribute kya hogi Sudershan ji ke liye ! :



hum sab bhartiya hain. !


I am not able to recall last stanza........will love if some one knows it. ( there are some missing words as well !)
