Shakeel Badayuni (August 3, 1916 -
April 20, 1970) was an accomplished Urdu poet, lyricist and songwriter of the
1950s and 1960s.
Shakeel Badayuni was born on August 3, 1916 in Badayun, Uttar Pradesh. His
father, Mohammed Jamaal Ahmed Sokhta Qadiri wanted him to study hard to have a
good career, thus he arranged Arabic, Urdu, Persian, and Hindi tuition for
Shakeel at home. His inclination towards poetry was not hereditary like other
shayars. One of his distant relatives, Zia-ul-Qadiri Badayuni was a religious
shayar. Shakeel was influenced by him and the contemporary environment of
Badayun led him to Sher-o-Shayari.
