==Early life and background==
Born in [[Delhi]],<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|title=स्पर्श भाग 2|publisher=NCERT|isbn=81-7450-647-0|location=New Delhi|pages=109|language=hi|chapter=अब कहाँ दूसरो के दुःख पर दुखी होने वाले|chapter-url=http://ncertbooks.prashanthellina.com/class_10.Hindi.Sparsh/ch-15.pdf}}</ref> India into a [[Kashmiri people|Kashmiri]] family, Nida Fazli grew up in [[Gwalior]],<ref name=":0" /> where he attended school and subsequently studied English literature.<ref name="toi16" /> His father was also a very well known [[Urdu]] poet. Two of his other brothers mainly; Tasleem Fazli & Saba Fazli too were prominent names of Indo-Pak. Their contribution to literature through films/poetry and songs are still cherished today by their admirers both from India and Pakistan.

In 1965, eighteen years after the [[partition of India]], his parents and other family members migrated to Pakistan. however decided to stay back in India.<ref name="DNA" /> This happened one year after Fazli had moved from Gwalior to Mumbai (in 1964) to earn a living. This departure of his parents was an epochal event in his life, the pain and repercussions of which would remain with him all his life.

Fazli was married twice. His second wife was Malti Joshi. They became the parents of a daughter, Tehreer.

[[File:Nida Fazli in Chandigarh-3 (28-Jan-2014) 04.JPG|thumb|Fazli reciting at Jashn-e-Haryana in Chandigarh, 28 January 2014]]
While still young, Fazli was passing by a [[Hindu]] temple where a [[bhajan]] singer was singing a composition of [[Surdas]] about [[Radha]] sharing her sorrow with her maids at being separated from her beloved [[Krishna]]. The poetic beauty of the ''Pad'', relating to the close rapport and bonding between human beings, inspired Nida to begin writing poems.<ref name="Filmfare">{{cite news|last1=Farook|first1=Farhana|title=Nida Fazli's last Filmfare interview|url=http://www.filmfare.com/features/nida-fazlis-last-filmfare-interview-12118.html|access-date=10 February 2016|work=[[Filmfare]]|date=8 February 2016}}</ref>

During that period, he felt that there were limitations in Urdu poetry. He absorbed the essence of [[Mir Taqi Mir|Mir]] and [[Ghalib]] to express what he intended. He was fascinated by the lyrical mood of Meera and Kabir and widened his knowledge of poetry by studying [[T. S. Eliot]], [[Nikolai Gogol|Gogol]] and [[Anton Chekhov]].<ref>{{cite news|last1=Khurana|first1=Suanshu|title=He poured far too much of heart and reality into his poetry|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/music/he-poured-far-too-much-of-heart-and-reality-into-his-poetry/|access-date=10 February 2016|work=[[The Indian Express]]|date=9 February 2016}}</ref>

[[File:Nida Fazli in Chandigarh-5 (28-Jan-2014) 01.JPG|thumb|Nida Fazli]]
He moved to [[Mumbai]] in search of a job in 1964. In the early days of his career, he wrote in ''[[Dharmayug]]'' and ''[[Blitz (newspaper)|Blitz]]'' .<ref name="toi16" /> His poetic style attracted the notice of filmmakers and writers of Hindi and Urdu literature. He was often invited to [[Mushaira]]s, the prestigious recitation sessions of one's own poetry. He became known among readers and [[ghazal]] singers for his elegant presentation and exclusive use of colloquial language for ghazals, dohaas and [[nazm]]s, while avoiding ornate [[Persian language|Persian]] imagery and compound words to simplify his poetry. He wrote the famous couplet: 'Duniya jise kehte hain jaadu kaa Khilona hai Mil jaaye to mitti hai kho jaaye to sona hai'. Some of his famous film songs include ''Aa bhi jaa'' ([[Sur - The Melody of Life|Sur]]), ''Tu is tarah se meri zindagi mein'' ([[Aap To Aise Na The]]) and ''Hosh waalon ko khabar Kya'' (''[[Sarfarosh]]''). He wrote essays critical of contemporary poets of the sixties in his book ''Mulaqatein'' which outraged poets including [[Sahir Ludhianvi]], [[Ali Sardar Jafri]] and [[Kaifi Azmi]]. As a result, he was boycotted in some poetic sessions. His career improved when [[Kamal Amrohi]], a filmmaker, approached him. The original songwriter [[Jan Nisar Akhtar]] working on the film ''[[Razia Sultan (film)|Razia Sultan]]'' (1983) had died before completing the project. Nida wrote the final two songs and attracted other Hindi filmmakers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ludhiana/Noted-Urdu-poet-Nida-Fazli-exhorts-people-to-be-human/articleshow/22961833.cms |title=Noted Urdu poet Nida Fazli exhorts people to be human|work=[[The Times of India]]|date=24 September 2013}}</ref>

His celebrated lyrics were also used in ''Aap to aise na the'', ''[[Is Raat Ki Subah Nahin]]'' (1996) and ''Gudiya''. He wrote the title song of TV serials like ''Sailaab'', ''[[Neem ka Ped]]'', ''Jaane Kya Baat Hui'' and ''[[Jyoti (TV series)|Jyoti]]''. The composition "Koi Akelaa Kahaan" is another popular composition sung by [[Kavita Krishnamurthy]]. His ghazals and other compositions are sung by notable artists of the day. He teamed up with [[Jagjit Singh]] in 1994 to bring an album named ''Insight'', which got appreciation for its soulful poetry and music. Shortly before his death he wrote columns for BBC Hindi website on various contemporary issues and literature.<ref name="NF1">{{cite web|title=यादों का एक शहर...|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/hindi/entertainment/story/2006/09/060922_nida_column7.shtml|publisher=BBC|access-date=7 July 2010}}</ref> [[Mirza Ghalib]]'s works were often mentioned by him.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus/009200812301401.htm | location=Chennai, India | work=[[The Hindu]] | title=Ghalib's legacy lives on even after 211 years | date=30 December 2008}}</ref>

==Style==
Nida Fazli is a poet of various moods and to him the creative sentiment and inner urge are the sources of poetry. He thinks that the feeling of a poet is similar to an artist: like a painter or a musician.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thenews.com.pk/Todays-News-14-206967-Without-women-empowerment-I-dont-see-the-world-developing-Nida-Fazli |title=Without women empowerment, I don't see the world developing — Nida Fazli |work=[[The News International]]|date=9 October 2013}}</ref> In contrast he found lyric writing a mechanical job as he had to fulfil the demands of the script and the director. Later he accepted the practical necessity of money which comes from lyric writing and helps one to ponder on creative work.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.jagran.com/news/national-kasab-and-amitabh-bachchan-compared-by-nida-fazli-10031566.html |title=kasab and amitabh bachchan compared by nida fazli 10031566 |work=[[Dainik Jagran]] |date=12 January 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Nida Fazli, the last of the great Urdu poets|url=http://www.rediff.com/news/report/nida-fazli-the-last-of-the-great-urdu-poets/20160208.htm|work=[[Rediff.com]]|access-date=10 February 2016|date=8 February 2016}}</ref>

He published his first collection of Urdu poetry in 1969. Childhood imagery persistently reflects in his poetry as elements of [[nostalgia]]. Primary themes which run through his poetry are contradictions in life, the search for purpose, nuances of human relationships, differences between practice and preaching, and the groping for that which is lost.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.filmfare.com/features/wordsmith-nida-fazli-at-his-lyrical-best-6432.html |title=Wordsmith Nida Fazli at his lyrical best |work=[[Filmfare]]|date=16 June 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last1=Khurana|first1=Suanshu|title=Nida Fazli's poetry: where Krishna met Allah|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/music/nida-fazlis-poetry-where-krishna-met-allah/|access-date=10 February 2016|work=[[The Indian Express]]|date=9 February 2016}}</ref>

==Contribution towards communal harmony==
Nida Fazli disagreed with the partition of India and has spoken out against the communal riots, politicians and fundamentalism.<ref>{{cite web |last=Sharma |first=Ankur |url=http://hindi.oneindia.in/movies/bollywood/news/2013/01/i-never-called-amitabh-terrorist-kasab-nida-fazli-225663.html |title=मैंने अमिताभ को कसाब नहीं कहा: निदा फाजली |language=hi |publisher=[[OneIndia.com]] |date=14 January 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140810140255/http://hindi.oneindia.in/movies/bollywood/news/2013/01/i-never-called-amitabh-terrorist-kasab-nida-fazli-225663.html |archive-date=10 August 2014 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> During the riots of December 1992 he had to take shelter in his friend's house due to security concerns.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cityairnews.com/content/ludhiana-news-noted-poet-nida-fazli-visit-city-september-22 |title=Noted Poet Nida Fazli to visit city on September 22 |publisher=City Air News |date=20 September 2013}}</ref>
