Gulshan Mehta Turns Gulshan Bawra
Late Gulshan Kumar Mehta, popularly known as Gulshan Bawra was born 30 km from Lahore in a place called Sheikhupura. His father had a construction business.
His family was a victim to the partition riots where young Gulshan saw his parents being killed in front of his eyes. His elder sister at Jaipur, brought him and his elder brother up. After his brother got a job, they shifted to Delhi where he graduated from Delhi University. During college, he began to write poetry.
He wanted to come into films and applied for a job with the Railways. He was posted to Kota which was then in Madhya Pradesh but when he arrived there, the vacancy was filled. His next call was luckily that for the post of a clerk at Mumbai and he arrived in the city in 1955.
Gulshan struggled to get a film break, initially keeping his job on. Kalyanji (-Anandji), then on his own as Kalyanji Virji Shah, gave him his first opening in Chandrasena (1959) in the song ‘Main kya jaanu kahan laage yeh saawan matwala re’ sung by Lata Mangeshkar.
The film Satta Bazar later the same year marked his first brush with success with hits like ‘Tumhein yaad hoga kabhi hum mile the’, ‘Aakde ka dhanda’ (Rafi) and ‘Chandi ke chand tukdon ke liye’.
It was during the making of this film that the film distributor Shantibhai Patel christened him ‘Bawra’. He was very impressed by his lyrics but could not reconcile their excellence to the typical young man in his twenties.
He said, 'Main iska naam Gulshan Bawra rakhoonga. He looks like a 'bawra' (madman).' When the film was released in Mumbai, the posters carried just three names, those of director Ravindra Dave, composers Kalyanji Anandji, and Gulshan Bawra, though the roster of lyricists included the topmost names of that time, Hasrat Jaipuri and Shailendra..
Shri Gulshan Bawra had written 240 songs in his 42-year career. Almost half of his songs have been with Shri R.D. Burman.
Mere desh ki dharti Upkar
Yaari hai imaan mera Zanjeer
Sanam teri kasam Sanam Teri Kasam
Agar tum na hote Agar Tum Na Hote
Tu tho hai wohi Yeh Vaada Raha
Aati Rahengi Baharen Kasme Vaade
Kasme Vaade Nibhayenge Hum Kasme Vaade
Jivan ke har mod pe mil jayenge humsafar Jhoota Kahin Ka
Teri Badmashiyan Zulmi
Waada karle saajana Haath Ki Safai
Peenewalon ko peene ka bahana chahiye Haath Ki Safai
Le pappiyaan jhappiyaan paale hum Haqeeqat
Awards Award Song Movie
Filmfare Best Lyricist Award - 1974 Yaari Hai Imaan Mera Zanjeer

He died on August 7, 2009 at age 72.
