The creative genius of Gulzar is that of a nomad in spirit. He will walk holding a poem by the hand for a distance, only to suddenly wander into the writing of a story. Imperceptibly, he will, while writing songs for films, shift to writing dialogues, and no one can discern the moment of change. He sources the screenplays for films from the field of poetry and picks stories from literature to make films. Innumerable poems, ghazals, and lyrics for film songs make up Gulzar's universe giving us glimpses of his life. Even as this expression reveals the intricate weave of the poet's inner voice, the Sufi overtones of spiritualism inherent in his poems convey to us shades of melancholy and regret.
