किसी की मुस्कुराहटों पे हो निसार
किसीका दर्द मिल सके तो ले उधार
किसीके वास्ते हो तेरे दिल में प्यार
जीना इसी का नाम है

In a song for the Bimal Roy classic, Do Bigha Zameen, Shailendra wrote, “Apni kahani chhod jaa, kuchch to nishani chhod jaa.” certainly he left his enduring legacy behind teaching us nuances of #life

#shailendra ji produced this one movie #TeesriKasam however it didn't do well as expected though it bagged National Award.
He was heart broken & died at an age of 43 however since then the reputation has grown & it had several houseful shows.
#RajKapoor #ShankarJaikishan

#DoYouKnow #RajKapoor was impressed by his poem Jalta Hai Punjab & wanted him to write songs for #Aag
#Shailendra, then a member of the Left cultural association #IPTA, refused. But when he needed money during the birth of his son, he approached Kapoor. 1/2

“For a sum of Rs 500, Kapoor had #Shailendra write two Barsaat (1949) superhits: Barsaat mein humse milein tum sajan and Patli qamar hai" & then a unique friendship started from there.
The formidable lyricist,show man & #shankarjaikishan
creeated many classics thereafter 2/2

Sab kuch seekha humne (Anari),
Ae mere dil kahin aurchal (Daag),
Honton pe sachaai rehti hai (Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai), 
Aaj phir jeene ki tamanna hai (Guide)
& this one from #TeesriKasam
Simple yet deep #shailendra
Once again #RK #Mukesh #ShankarJaikishan all together
