Mere geet tumhare hain!!

My new fascination being trying to learn something about hindi poetry forms, I've been reading ghalibs ghazals, have learnt some, been reading other hindi writings. And then surprise surprise I find this really old book of poems titled "Mere geet tumhare hain", collection of Sahir Ludhianvis poems.
This gentlemen initially wrote only and only for his beloved. The pain filled poetry, of the lover sadly destroyed by love and pain. He and the beloved could not be together as wikipedia tells me because she was sikh and he a muslim. And so he wrote and wrote first expressing his love, then asking her to rebel, then finally he wrote of memories and his love still buning young, then there were poems which screamed of his attempts to let go, but sadly he never could, he remained single all his life.
And then gradually he turns into this nationalistic poet, somewhat of a marxist asking the "farmers to rise up in revolt"and the like, he wrote of the suffering of the poor, the strength of the spade. And he went ahead and wrote mere geet tumhare hain, saying that his poetry was all dedicated to the poor and the farmers.
When I saw the book I was so thrilled coz it sounded so nice "mere geet tumhare hain" I thought must be for some beloved....anyway he sang for whoever he wanted to. Nice Work.

I've picked up "beloved " from Kamila Shamsies Broken Verses.
