Sayeed Quadri
Sayeed Quadri is a famous Indian poet and Bollywood lyricist. He was born on 3 October in Jodhpur, Rajasthan.
Sayeed Quadri first came from Jodhpur for work in the 1980s. He met with Mahesh Bhatt who liked him, but could not offer him any films as Bhatt was not an independent film producer yet. Sayeed did not give up though. Luck smiled at Sayeed while Jism was in the making. Mahesh Bhatt asked Sayeed to write a few songs for the film and the rest is history full of Mahesh Bhatt chartbuster songs written by Sayeed Quadri!
The successful lyricist kept moving up on the ladder of success with each movie that he wrote lyrics.
Sayeed admits writing is not his profession, it is his hobby. He believes there is a revival of thoughtful and meaningful lyrics in hindi movie songs. He tries to induce fresh thoughts in his movie lyrics , keeping them deep and substantial which the listeners love about him. Quadri’s poetry has proved that urdu shayari can be appreciated by older as well as younger generation if it is presented well.
Sayeed lives in Jodhpur with his wife and sons. He is inspired by Sahir Ludhiyanvi and says he is giving back to the world (in the form of poetry/lyrics) what he has received from life.
He won the Best Lyricist award at the 6th IIFA Awards for Murder.[1] and Standout Performance by Lyricist at the Stardust Awards 2005 for Murder.[2]
