Kaifi Azmi (Urdu: کیفی اعظمی) (b.
1919 - d. May 10, 2002) was an Urdu and Hindi lyricist, poet and songwriter.
Kaifi Azmi was born as Akhtar Hussain Rizvi into a family of landlords in the
small town of Mejwaan, in the district of Azamgarh, Uttar Pradesh. His father,
Syed Fateh Hussain Rizvi, though a landlord, took up employment first in a small
native state called Balharah as a tahsildar and later, he worked in other areas
of Uttar Pradesh. He decided to send his sons to schools imparting modern
education, including English, against the stiff opposition of his relatives.
However, Azmi could not get this opportunity because his elders wanted him to
become a theologian. He was admitted to Sultan Al-Madaris, a reputed seminary in
Lucknow. However, his nonconformist nature created many problems for the
authorities of the seminary
