Renowned Hindi poet and lyricist Gopaldas Neeraj passed away on Thursday July 19th . He was 93 years old. He was admitted to a hospital in Agra on Tuesday due to an infection in his lungs. He was moved to AIIMS in Delhi on Thursday after there was no improvement in his condition.

Neeraj was awarded the Padma Shri in 1991 and Padma Bhushan in 2007 for his contribution to art. He wrote many iconic Bollywood numbers which are still remembered like a fresh breath of air amongst youth. Check out the tracks right here:

Karvan Guzar Gaya

Phoolon Ke Rang Se

Rangeela Re Tere Rang Mein

Wo hum Na The Wo Tum Na The

Aye Bhai Zara Dekh Ke Chalo

Mera Mann Tera Pyasa

Writer-Lyricist Varun Grover says; “the laya or rhythm of his (Neeraj’s) poetry was the most attractive part of his work. The way his words smoothly slipped and floated as they made their way into his poems.”

Says writer-journalist Mrinal Pande; “In the age of Mika and Honey Singh, Neeraj and his songs about gently self-effacing romantic individuals, watching the caravans of love leave them behind, enveloped in dust, are a sad reminder of a world we now see perhaps only in Hindi movies of the 1960s.”
