'''Hasrat Jaipuri,''' born '''Iqbal Hussain''' (15 April 1922 – 17 September 1999) was an [[Indian people|Indian]] poet, who wrote in the [[Hindustani language|Hindi and Urdu]] languages. He was also a renowned film lyricist in [[Hindi films]], where he won the [[Filmfare Awards]] for [[Filmfare Award for Best Lyricist|Best Lyricist]] twice.

==Early life==
Jaipuri was born '''Iqbal Husain''' in [[Jaipur]], where he studied English till medium level, and then acquired his ''taalim'' (education) in [[Urdu]] and [[Persian language|Persian]] from his maternal grandfather, the poet Fida Husain 'Fida'.<ref name="urdupoetry">{{cite web

Hasrat talked about a love letter he wrote to this girl, in an interview, later in his life, that love knows no religion. Hasrat Jaipuri was quoted as saying, "It is not at all necessary that a Muslim boy must fall in love only with a Muslim girl. My love was silent, but I wrote a poem for her, 'Yeh mera prem patra padh kar, ke tum naaraaz na hona." It is not known for sure whether the love letter was actually delivered to Radha. But veteran film producer [[Raj Kapoor]] liked it enough to include it in his [[Sangam (1964 Hindi film)]] and the song ended up becoming a 'hit' song in India.<ref name="urdupoetry"/>

==Career in Bollywood==
In 1940, Jaipuri came to Bombay (now [[Mumbai]]), and started working as a [[conductor (transportation)|bus conductor]], earning a monthly salary of eleven rupees. He used to participate in [[mushaira]]s. At a ''mushaira'', [[Prithviraj Kapoor]] noticed Jaipuri and recommended him to his son, [[Raj Kapoor]]. Raj Kapoor was planning a musical love story, ''[[Barsaat (1949 film)|Barsaat]]'' (1949) with [[Shankar-Jaikishan]]. Jaipuri wrote his first recorded song, ''Jiya Beqaraar Hai'' for the film. His second song (and first duet) was ''Chhor Gaye Baalam''.<ref name="urdupoetry"/>

Along with [[Shailendra (lyricist)|Shailendra]], Jaipuri wrote lyrics for all Raj Kapoor films till 1971. After the death of Jaikishan and failures of ''[[Mera Naam Joker]]'' (1970) and ''[[Kal Aaj Aur Kal]]'' (1971), however, Raj Kapoor turned to other lyricists and music directors. Raj Kapoor initially wanted to call him back for ''[[Prem Rog]]'' (1982), but later settled for another lyricist, [[Amir Qazalbash]]. Kapoor finally asked him to write lyrics for the film, ''[[Ram Teri Ganga Maili]]'' (1985). Later, he also invited Hasrat to write three songs for the movie ''[[Henna (film)|Henna]]'' (1991). Jaipuri alleges that after Raj Kapoor's death, the music composer [[Ravindra Jain]] "conspired" to "scrap" his lyrics and replace them with his own lyrics.<ref name="urdupoetry"/>

When fellow lyricist [[Shailendra (lyricist)|Shailendra]] turned producer with ''[[Teesri Kasam]]'', he invited Jaipuri to write lyrics for the movie. He also wrote screenplay for the movie ''Hulchul'' (1951). His last film as a lyricist was ''Hatya: The Murder'' (2004).
