But all his life the pain of separation and loneliness found expression in his poetry.Īnd he never agreed with the Partition, remaining its lifelong critic and opponent of communal, divisive politics. Fazli, who was just nine then, decided to stay back in India. During the Partition, his family decided to migrate to Pakistan.
Fazli, real name Muqtida Hasan, was from a family of Kashmiri Muslims that had later shifted to Delhi. Like many other poets and artists of his age, Nida Fazli's was influenced by his early life and childhood trauma of Partition. " Duniya jise kehte hain, jadoo ka khilona hai Mil jaaye to mitti hai, kho jaaye to sona hai," he mused in a couplet that went on to become the signature ghazal of the Jagjit-Chitra era of music. The wonder that is life, duniya, was both his pet muse and peeve. Life's vagaries, trials and tribulations never ceased to interest Nida Fazli. The poet-philosopher, who passed away on Monday at the age of 78, was a living embodiment of the immortal song rendered poignantly by Asha Bhonsle and Bhupendra. Kabhi kisi ko muqammal jahan nahin milta, poet Nida Fazli famously wrote for the film Ahista Ahista.
