The leading Bollywood lyricist, script writer and a literary poet of distinct voice starts his much awaited book, The Feelings, with these beautiful lines:
I am a poet, who weaves sweet and pungent songs with the delicate and sublime words
And whatever comes in my way, either thorn or a flower, I take it with a generous smile on my lips.
Nawab Arzoo is known for some of the best songs which he penned in a number of hit Hindi films like Bazigar, Sathi, Bhabhi, Jaan Tere Nam, Dancer, Dil Ka Keya Qasoor and many others. He is also a sought after lyricist among the television soap producers like Ekta Kapoor whose many popular serials are attached with many melodious title songs written by him.

And all equally have strength to attract the attention of the serious readers of poetry. But some lines are so powerful and enchanting that it is hard to ignore. It keeps hovering in your mind for a longer period of time. I have picked some couplets which forced me to think deeply and disturbingly. These lines are as follows:
I make, sometimes, Roti, sometimes, vegetables and rice
These kinds of figures only a lunatic sketch on the wall.
We have been living in our country for centuries together
Why you turn it into a slaughter house just for the sake of a few votes
My city is so big, O Baba
But, where is the human, O Baba
Whenever you like, you may search me thoroughly
I keep a throbbing heart inside my body, not a bomb
Perhaps, that lonely bird got ensnared by a hunter
Who used to live in my house and flew from there
When the communal riots took place, it changed the face of my city completely
And that house which was perched in front of the police station, got burnt quickly
This book is a stepping stone, and I do hope that Nawab Arzoo will not stop himself here and produce some more good books in future to come. I wish him a great success as both a professional writer and poet and literary master of his time.
