Saifuddin Saif

 Today is the 27th anniversary of Saifuddin Saif. He died in Lahore on July 12, 1993 and was buried in Model Town Cemetery.

Saifuddin Saif was born on March 20, 1922 in Amritsar. Where their ancestors migrated from Kashmir and settled. His father's name was Khwaja Meraj Din. Saif's mother died when he was two and a half years old. Saif received his early education from Muslim High School Amritsar but passed the matriculation examination as a private candidate. Then he entered MAO College, Amritsar. Here the closeness of Principal Dr. MD Taseer and English Lecturer Faiz Ahmed Faiz created scholarly and literary tastes.

Saif's education was incomplete due to his joining the Khaksar movement. Some connections led to the film world and Saif started writing film stories. After the formation of Pakistan, he came to Lahore and became associated with the film world again.

The films for which he has written songs include Hitchcock, Amanat, Newlywed Bride, Slave, Beloved, Aghosh, Eye Drug, Sat Lakh, Kartar Singh, Toofan, Killer, Revenge, Lakht Jagar, Amrao Jan Ada, Suraya Bhopali, Azra, Tahzeeb, Narkali, Anjuman, Shama Parwana are at the top of the list. He also made films including Sat Lakh and Kartar Singh

Here are some of his most popular songs:

Jealous Arman my heart cries (Anarkali)

That dream has been shattered, hope has been shattered.

Don't let the wind blow (the motherland)

Wherever I look, there are pictures of you (Suraya Bhopali)

I will leave your city (candles and butterflies)

It's hard to express, can't even say anything (association)

They have come to lay down what was left.

If the weather is colorful, take a holiday and come to Balma (seven lakhs).

Saifuddin Saif kept in touch with literature along with the film and continued to compose songs as well as poems and lyrics. Saifuddin Saif's poetry realistically describes the problems of society and the realities of life. Three collections of his poetry were published:

Some poems of Saifuddin Saif

We had to cry over the situation

What made you cry?

Why Safe Surprise at the Dead?

Death must have been easy

Someone with a heart that is a myth of love

I cried when I heard him. He cried when he heard me

Hassan Gulistan is in great danger. We didn't say that

We didn't say the prison wall that reached Chaman

What is the Hour of Judgment?

Count in life

When the enemies left, the friendship became difficult

The enemies are gone, our friends are gone

God knows what happened to the heart after you

No one was encouraged to contact

Noise does not let the day sleep

The senate wakes up at night

What is the destination of this passenger?

The stone that made the wall visible

How will Saif live here?

The night does not seem to be over

I have spent such moments in your separation

When the memory of you is also dear to this heart

As the day goes on, it seems like a big deal

When night falls, a battle ensues

Saif Murree's lack of knowledge came in handy

All the intellectuals of the town were auctioned off

Changed but disguised grief of love

We have recognized you, O sorrowful ones

Murree Dastan Hasrat cried when he heard it

Those who tried to die cried for me

What is the standard of authenticity of this city?

Idols also carry the Qur'an in their hands here

Someone's safe memory and heart condition

The dense forest is the only hut
