Description

A delightful new collection from the master lyricist After the great success of 100 Lyrics , this new volume contains a hundred more of Gulzar's marvellous compositions. Gulzar has brought a rare poetic sensibility to popular Hindi film music over a five-decade-long career, and this collection showcases some of his best work, from early lyrics like ' Ganga aaye kahan se ' ( Kabuliwala , 1961) and ' Koi hota jisko apna ' ( Mere Apne ) to classics such as ' Tere bina jiya jaye na ' ( Ghar ), ' Do naina aur ek kahani ' ( Masoom ) and ' Roz roz ankhon taley ' ( Jeeva ) and later blockbusters like ' Goli maar bheje mein ' ( Satya ), ' Beedi jalai le ' ( Omkara ), ' Dhan te nan ' ( Kaminey ), ' Dil toh bachcha hai ji ' ( Ishqiya ), ' Challa ' ( Jab Tak Hai Jaan ) and ' Bismil ' ( Haider ). In addition, Another 100 Lyrics contains some brilliant poems from non-film albums like Dil Padosi Hai , Marasim , Ishqa Ishqa and Koi Baat Chale . Complete with anecdotes about the compositions of some of these lyrics and photographs from Gulzar's personal collection, Another 100 Lyrics is a true collector's item.
