Rahat Indori Shayaris That Will Make Him Immortal in Our Lives

Do Gaz Sahi magar Ye Meri Malkiyat To Hain, Ae Mout Tune Mujhko Zameedar Kar Diya.
2) Mai Marr Jaun To Meri Ek Alag Pehchaan Likh Dena,
Lahu Se Meri Peshaani Pe Hindustaan Likh Dena.

Mohabbat Karne Waala Jaa Raha Hai.
5) Lagegi Aag To Aayenge Ghar Kai Zad Me
Yahan Pe Sirf Hamara Makan Thodi Hai
Main Jaanta Hoon Ke Dushman Bhi Kam Nahi Lekin
Humari Tarah Hatheli Pe Jaan Thodi Hai
Humare Muhn Se Jo Nikale Wahi Sadaakat Hai
Humare Muhan Tumhari Zuban Thodi Hai
Jo Aaj Saahibe Masnad Hain Kal Nahin Honge
Kiraaydaar Hain Jaati Makaan Thodi Hai
Sabhi Ka Khoon Shaamil Yahan Ki Mitti Me
Kisi Ke Baap Ka Hindustan Thodi Hai

Tere Hath Me To Ye Kangan Bhi Dheele Ho Gaye
Phool Bechare Akele Reh Gaye Hai Shaakh Par
Gaaon Ki Sab Titliyon Ke Saath Peele Ho Gaye.
11) Bulati Hai Magar Jaane Ka Nahi, Ye Duniya Hai Idhar Jaane Ka Nahi,
Mere Bete Kisi Se Ishq Kar, Magar Had Se Guzar Jaane Ka Nahi
Zameen Bhi Sar Par Rakhni Ho To Rakho, Chale Ho Toh Teher Jaane Ka Nahi,
Sitaare Noch Kar Le Jaunga, Main Khali Haath Ghar Jaane Ka Nahi,
Ye Duniya Chodna Manzoor Lekin, Watan Ko Chod Kar Jaane Ka Nahi.

Zinda Rehna Hai To Tarkiben Bahut Saari Rakho

Chor Uchkkon Ki Karo Kadar, Kya Maloom Kaun Kab Kaunsi Sarkaar Mein Aa Jayega

Ye Kaichiyan Hume Udne Se Khaak Rokengi, Ki Hum Paro Se Nahi Hauslon Se Udte Hain
20) Meri Khwaish Hai Ki Aangan Mein Deewar Na Uthe, Mere Bhai Mere Hisse Ki Zameen Tu Rakh Le
21) Safar Ki Had Hai Wahan Tak Ki Kuch Nishaan Rahe, Chale Chalo Ki Jahan Tak Ye Aasmaan Rahe,
Ye Kya Uthaye Kadam Aur Aa Gayi Manzil, Maza Toh Tab Hai Ki Pairon Mein Kuch Thakaan Rahe
22) Ek Hi Nadi Ke Hain Ye Do Kinare Doston, Dostana Zindagi Se, Maut Se Yaari Rakho
23) Hum Se Pehle Bhi Musafir Kai Guzre Honge, Kam Se Kam Raah Ke Pathar Toh Hatate Jaate!

Yahan Har Ek Mausam Ko Guzar Jaane Ki Jaldi Thi

Naye Kirdaar Aate Jaa Rahe Hain, Magar Natak Purana Chal Raha Hai
31) Na Humsafar Na Humnasheen Se Niklega,
Humare Paaon Ka Kaata Hum Hi Se Niklega
32) Ye Hawayein Ud Na Jayein Le Ke Kaghaz Ka Badan,
Doston Mujh Par Koi Pathar Zara Bhari Rakho

Aaj Phir Nikla Hoon Main Ghar Se Hatheli Choom Kar
43) Sakht Rahon Me Bhi Asaan Safar Lagta Hai,
Ye Meri Maa Ki Duaaon Ka Asar Lagta Hai!
Rahat Indori was good friends with Jaun Elia, another great Urdu poet who left us in the year 2002. In an appearance on the Kapil Sharma Show, he narrated an incident remembering his dear friend, which takes us back to an Urdu Mushaira in the 1990s where both these legendary Urdu poets were invited.
Rahat Indori Sahab asks Jaun Elia Sahab, “How much time will it take to reach there?” as they were seated in the car and moving towards their destination which was really far. To this, Jaun Elia Sahab politely responded, “Just two to four pegs!”. And everyone bursts out laughing. We hope both of them will rest in peace.
Rahat Indori Sahab’s shayaris will be loved by generations that are yet to come for their uniqueness, language, presentation, wit, and underlying humor. The power of his pen & words will always be unmatched.
It's not just India; the world has lost a legend whose poems will be an inspiration for the generations to come. He was one of the most powerful, prolific, and inspiring poets of India. He was the greatest Urdu shayar (poet) of his time and a very celebrated one. Rest In Power, Rahat Indori Sahab.
