Intikhab-e-Kalam: Aarzoo Lakhnavi

Compiled by Muhammad Reza Kazimi

This is a representative selection of Aarzoo Lakhnavi’s poetry. His career as a poet began with the composition of a marsiya at the age of twelve. Guided by Jalaal Lakhnavi, he soon became skilled in the art of poetry. Three collections of Aarzoo’s ghazals, Fughan-e-Aarzoo, Jahan-e-Aarzoo, and Nishan-e-Aarzoo have been popular with Urdu poetry readers. He moved to Bombay in 1942, where he wrote lyrics and dialogues for films.
