Kaifi Azmi passed away at the age of 83 in the year 2002.
Talking about her father and his influence on her, Shabana had told National Herald last year, “I took my father for granted, as all children tend to. But as a poet he continues to overwhelm me each day even four years after his death. Whether it was his poem Makaan or Aurat…they’ve been a great source of inspiration.”
Kaifi Azmi has given lyrics to many blockbuster songs from hit movies including Kaagaz Ke Phool, Garam Hawa, Manthan, Pakeezah, Kohra and Heer Ranjha. He had his lyrical debut in Bollywood with 1952 release Buzdil.
