Akhlaq Mohammad Khan Shahryar (1936-2012)

As a Hindi film lyricist, he is best known for his lyrics in Gaman (1978), Umrao Jaan (1981) and Anjuman (1986), by Muzaffar Ali. In 2008 he won the Janpath Award, which is one of the highest literary award in India.
Early Life
Shahryar was born at tehsil Aonla, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh. His father was in police force. In his childhood days, Khan wanted to become an athlete but his father wanted him to join the police force. It is then that he ran away from home and was guided by Khalil-ur-Rahman. To earn a living, he started teaching Urdu fiction at Aligarh Muslim University where he later studied and got his PhD. He received his early education at Bulandshahr and later studied at Aligarh Muslim University.
Shahryar Sahab is survived by three children, Humayun Shahryar, Saima Shahryar and Faridoon Shahryar.

He has co-edited the literary magazine Sher-o-Hikmat (Poetry and Philosophy).

Shahryar wrote lyrics for selected Indian films. His two ghazals Seene Mein Jalan Ankhon Mein Toofan Sa Kyun Hai and Ajeeb Saneha Mujhpar Guzar Gaya Yaaro in Muzaffar Ali's Gaman are still considered classics. All his Ghazals from Umrao Jaan, be it Dil Cheez Kya Hai, In Ankhon Ki Masti Ke, Justuju Jiski Thi, Ye Zameen Chaand Se Behtar Nazar Aati Hai Hamein and Ye Kya Jagah Hai Doston are part of some of the finest lyrical works in Bollywood ever. Besides penning these ghazals, Shahryar also contributed to the film through several dialogues as well.

Shahryar also wrote for Yash Chopra's Faasle and Muzaffar Ali's Anjuman. He also wrote for Muzaffar Ali's Zooni and Daaman which were never completed.
