Sabir zafar biography of mahatma

Sufism and politics have the same goals — Sabir Zafar

Although his fame hinges on his geets, or lyrics, noted poet Sabir Zafar is trying to shake off his image as a lyricist.

He has as many as 22 collections of ghazals (lyric poems) to his credit and wants his name to be recognized with that genre.

With three collections of geets in his pocket, he has stopped publishing more of his 1,000-plus geets he has written so far.

The fame he has earned through his sung ghazals and geets should, however, be the pride of any ambitious poet.

He embarked on this journey with a ghazal sung by Ghulam Ali:

Dareecha bay sada koi nahin hai/Agar chih bolta koi nahin hai followed by Jitni aankhein achhi hongi, meri aankhein hongi…, sung by Mohammad Yousuf.

His geets and ghazals catapulted to fame not only the poet but many singers and groups that sang them.
