TRIBUTE : To a Great Gujarati ghazalkar

The legendary Gujarati poet "Aasim Randeri" (Original Name: Subedar Mahmoodmiya Mohammad Imam) recently passed away at an old age of 105 years. The poet from pre-Independence era begged some prestigious literature award like Vali Gujarati Award.

Following are some fantastic lines from his marvelous works
  • Koi Ni Najar Nahi Pahonche Hraday Na Gum Sudhi,
    Aa Hraday No Bhed Che, Rehshe E Marta Dum Sudhi
  • Dil Kehva Chahe Pan Kehvay Nahi To Saru,
    J Prem Nu Gaurav Che E Sachvay To Saru,
    "Leela" Ni Haqiqut Na Kadi Ke Je Tu "Aasim",
    E Bhed Che E Bhed Rahi Jay To Saru.
  • Prashnsha Ma Nathi Hoti Ke Ninda Ma Nathi Hoti,
    Maja Je Chup Ma Che E Charcha Ma Nathi Hoti,
    Daya Ma Nathi Hoti, Dilasa Ma Nathi Hoti,
    Kahe Che Jene Shanti Dil Ni, E 'Duniya' Ma Nathi Hoti
