We grew up hearing his name spoken with a kind of quiet pride. What I remember most is not the awards on the shelf but how much he cared about words, and how he treated them with respect. His verse is still how our family talks about him.
My father played his songs on an old radio every evening. I didn’t understand the poetry then, but I understand it now. Thank you for the words that kept our evenings full.
Punjabi cinema gave us stories, but it was writers like him who gave those stories a heart. We may never meet his like again. May Allah grant him a high place.
My elder used to say that a good lyric needs no explanation, because the listener already knows it. Hazeen sahib wrote that way, simply and honestly. The film world was richer for him.
