\r\nShakeel Badayuni was born in Badaun, Uttar Pradesh. His father, Mohammed Jamaal Ahmed Sokhta Qadiri, wanted him 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, Hazrat Zia-ul-Qadiri Badayuni Rehmatullah Aleh, was a religious shayar. Shakeel Masoodi was influenced by him and the contemporary environment of Badayun led him to poetry.
\r\nWhen he joined Aligarh Muslim University in 1936, he started participating in inter-college, inter-university mushairas and won frequently. In 1940, he married Salma, who was his distant relative and had been living in a common house with him since childhood, however, the purdah system was vogue in their family and they were not close. After completing his BA, he moved to Delhi as a supply officer, but continued participating in mushairas, earning fame nationwide. Those were the days of shayars who wrote about the downtrodden sections of society, their upliftment, the betterment of society and all. But Shakeel had an altogether different taste – his poetry was romantic and close to the heart. Shakeel used to say:
\r\nMain Shakeel Dil Ka Hoon Tarjuman
Keh Mohabbaton Ka Hoon Raazdaan
Mujhe Fakhr Hai Meri Shayari
Meri Zindagi Se Juda Nahin
During his Aligarh days, Badauni also started learning Urdu poetry formally from Hakim Abdul Waheed 'Ashk' Bijnori.
Career
Shakeel moved to Bombay in 1944, to write songs for films. He met film producer, A.R. Kardar and music composer, Naushad Ali, who asked him to sum up his poetic skills in one line. Shakeel wrote, Hum Dard Ka Afsana Duniya Ko Suna Denge, Har Dil Main Mohabbat Ki Ek Aag Laga Dengey. Naushad immediately retained him for Kardar's film, Dard (1947). The songs of Dard proved to be very successful, especially Uma Devi (Tun Tun)'s Afsana Likh Rahi Hoon. Only a few are so lucky that they attain success in their first film, but Shakeel deserved success which started with Dard and continued on over the years.
Together, he and Naushad became one of the most sought after composer/lyricist duos in the industry. Among the scores they churned out together, are those of Deedar (1951), Baiju Bawra (1952), Mother India (1957), and Mughal-e-Azam (1960), that stand out. Other films they scored together include Dulari (1949), Shabab (1954), Ganga Jamuna (1961), and Mere Mehboob (1963). Although Shakeel Badayuni worked most extensively with Naushad, he also collaborated with Ravi and Hemant Kumar as well. His lyrics for the song Husnwale Tera Jawab Nahin and Ravi's music score both won Filmfare Awards for the hit film Gharana. His other notable film with Ravi is Chaudhvin Ka Chand (1960), while Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam (1962) is his biggest hit with Hemant Kumar. The title song from Chaudhvin Ka Chand, rendered by Mohammed Rafi, won Badayuni the Filmfare Award for Best Lyricist in 1961.
\r\nShakeel penned numbers for around 89 films. In addition, he wrote many popular ghazals sung by Begum Akhtar, and which are still sung by vocalists like Pankaj Udhas and others.
\r\nThe Indian government had honoured him with the title Geet Kar-e-Azam.
\r\nAssociation with Naushad
Shakeel shared a close friendship with Naushad, Ravi and Naushad's former assistant, Ghulam Mohammed, with whom he enjoyed his life to the fullest. Naushad used Shakeel as the lyricist for his tunes for most of his films for a period of 24 years. Baiju Bawra, which was a milestone in both of their careers, was supposed to go to Kavi Pradeep. Vijay Bhatt, the director of the movie was insistent on using Kavi Pradeep as lyricist, since the film was supposed to have many devotional songs. Naushad requested Vijay Bhatt to hear the lyrics written by Shakeel. Vijay Bhatt agreed.
When Shakeel Badayuni was diagnosed with TB, he was put up in a sanitorium in Panchgani for treatment. Naushad knowing that his financial condition was not well, took 3 films to him, getting the lyrics written in the sanatorium, and got him a payment of nearly 10 times more than his normal fees.
\r\nAssociation with Ravi
Shakeel also wrote a substantial chunk of his songs for music director Ravi Sharma. Prominent amongst those were Gharana (1961), Ghunghat,Grahasti (1963), Nartaki (1963), as well as Phool Aur Patthar and Do Badan.
Association with Hemant Kumar
Shakeel wrote for Hemant Kumar for movies like Bees Saal Baad, Sahib Bibi Aur Gulam, Bin Badal Barsaat.
Association with S.D.Burman
Shakeel penned lyrics for the tunes of S D Burman for movies Kaise Kahoon & Benazir.
Others
C.Ramachandra – Zindagi Aur Maut, Wahan Ke Log. Roshan – Bedaag, Noorjahan.
Personal life
Shakeel Badayuni succumbed to diabetes complications at the age of fifty-three, on 20 April 1970, at Bombay Hospital leaving behind his wife, two sons and two daughters. One daughter, Najma, died soon afterwards, while still a college student. His elder son Javed works in the travel and tourism industry. His other son's name is Tariq. Shakeel's friends Ahmed Zakaria and Rangoonwala formed a trust called Yaad-e-Shakeel after his death and this trust became the source of some income to his bereaved family.
Shakeel loved to play badminton, go on picnics and hunting trips and fly kites with his friends from the industry, Naushad and Mohammed Rafi. Sometimes Johnny Walker would join them in kite-flying competitions. Dilip Kumar, writers Wajahat Mirza, Khumar Barabankvi and Azm Bazidpuri were among Shakeel's other close friends within the industry.

Lyrics and Bollywood
In 1945 Khumar went to Bombay to attend a mushaira. Film Director A.R. Kardar and music director Naushad were both in attendance. They listened to Khumar's poetry and were impressed by his ghazals. Kardar who was making ‘Shahjahan’ with Naushad as music director, offered him to write few songs for his films and he agreed. Songs of ‘Shajahan’ film were written by Majrooh Sutanpuri and Khumar Barabankvi. Songs of both the writers became super hit. In Bollywood, singers like K.L.Sehgal, Mohd. Rafi, Talat Mehmood, Lata Mangeshkar, Shamshad Begum, Geeta Dutt Have given voice to his poetry. With his song ‘Chaah Barbad Kare Gi Hamein Maaloom Na Tha’ sung by Sehgal for film ‘Shahjahan’ released in 1946, he gained fame and recognition in Bollywood. In 1949, he wrote ‘Tum Ho Jaao Hamaare’ sung by Mohd Rafi, in ‘Roop Lekha’ and ‘Hasrat Bhari Nazar Ko Tera Intezar’ sung by Geeta Dutt and Zohra Khan in ‘Dil Ki Basti’. In 1951 Lata Mangeshkar gave her melodious voice for his song ‘Loot Liya Mera Qaraar’ for film ‘Hulchal’. All the songs of his film ‘Baradari’ released in 1955 were hit. The songs ‘Bhula Nahin Dena Ji Bhula Nahin Dena’ and ‘Tasveer Banata Hoon Tasveer Nahin Banti’ became super hits. His films include- ‘Shahjahan’, ‘Dil ki Basti’, ‘Roop Lekha’, ‘Adhi Raat’, ‘Meherbani’, ‘Halchal’, ‘Jawab’, ‘Rukhsana’, ‘Shahzada’, ‘Captain Sheroo’, ‘Mehfil’, ‘Menhdi’, ‘Qatil’ and many others. Though he was a successful songwriter, he always preferred to attend mushairas than devoting time to write lyrics for films. Besides this, he was annoyed with the falling standards of poetry in films, so he kept himself away from Bollywood for quite long time. On the insistence of music director Naushad, he agreed to write songs for K. Asif’s ‘Love and God’ but soon after he quit film industry and settled in Barabanki.
