One of India's greatest and most beloved poets, Gulzar has mesmerized and enchanted generations of readers with his inimitable lyrical expression, visual imagery and poetic thought. There are few Indians who aren't familiar with a verse or two of Gulzar's; and rare is the person who hasn't been reminded of a line of his at some turn on the journey of life.
Baal-o-Par is a definitive collection of Gulzar's poetry. It comprises the complete text of six volumes of poems: Chand Pukhraaj Ka, Raat Pashminey Ki, Pandrah Paanch Pachhattar, Kuchh Aur Nazmein, Pluto and Triveni. The first volume, Chand Pukhraaj Ka, was written four decades ago; the last, Triveni, in 2004. Taken together, the many hundreds of poems bear witness to a remarkable poetic journey.
Gulzar was born as Sampooran Singh Kalra, and he is a Indian film director, lyricist, and poet. Often called poet at heart, Gulzar began his professional life in the movie called Bandini in 1963 as a lyricist. He has worked with some of the biggest names in the Indian film industry like A R Rahman, R D Burman, and Vishal Bhardwaj. He has also television series’ and movies like Mausam and Aandhi. Gulzar also won the Dadasaheb Phalke Award , which is considered to be the greatest award in the world of Indian cinema. This is just one of the many awards he has won, and he has also won a Grammy and Academy award. Pavan Varma has translated this book.
