Makhdoom is another voice of revolution in Urdu poetry. Though he penned those inspiring and romantic lines in Urdu, I feel he didn’t get the recognition he deserves. I am surprised to note that Makhdoom is more popular in Telugu literary circles for his revolutionary thoughts reached them through translations. He also wrote songs for Bollywood movies which include ‘Du badan pyar ki aag main jal gaye’. The couplet that comes to my mind when I think of Makhdoom has the power to influence the people who can make a difference. Here it is
.حیات لے کے چلو ، کائنات لے کے چلو
چلو تو سارے زمانے کو ساتھ لے کے چلو
