Gulzar Saab, over the course of some time, wrote Selected Poems, Neglected Poems and Suspected Poems, all of which were loved and adored by his readers and admirers. They took us down memory lane negotiating with the labyrinth of life and beyond. Gulzar made almost everything under the sun a subject of his poetry. Life, death, separation, love, grief, hope, aspiration―all of which are a part of his poetic gaze. He weighs, measures, writes and rewrites each word, which could be felt, touched, visualized and experienced as a palpable reality.

In celebration of nine decades of Gulzar Saab’s journey, 89 Autumns of Poems also brings to light his jugalbandi with Pavan K. Verma, who translated these works. These poems¾soaked in time¾are Selected, Neglected and Suspected and therefore, especially, curated to access three of Gulzar Saab’s bestselling titles in one volume.

Gulzar

Poet, author, lyricist, film-maker, screenplay and dialogue writer, Gulzar is one of the towering figures of Indian cinema, culture and literature. Born in Dina (now in Pakistan), his career in cinema took off as an assistant to film-maker Bimal Roy. Apart from being a film-maker with a difference, he is undoubtedly one of the finest lyricists of Hindi cinema. A stalwart of Indian literature and one of the finest poets in Urdu/ Hindustani, he has a number of poetry and short-story collections to his credit. He has also recently published two volumes of his translations of Rabindranath Tagore's poems, Baaghbaan and Nindiya Chor. He is also one of the finest writers for children in the country. He is a recipient of the Sahitya Akademi Award and the Padma Bhushan. In 2008, he was awarded an Oscar for his song 'Jai ho' in Slumdog Millionaire. He received the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2014. Rakhshanda Jalil is a writer, critic and literary historian. She has published over fifteen books and written over fifty academic papers and essays. She runs an organization called Hindustani Awaaz, devoted to the popularization of Hindi-Urdu literature and culture. Her recent books include a translation of fifteen short stories by Intizar Husain entitled The Death of Sheherzad (HarperCollins, 2014) and The Sea Lies Ahead, a translation of Intizar Husain's seminal novel (HarperCollins, 2015).
