Syal Sahib, as he was fondly called; was a great versatile poet. Popular as “Brij Ke Shayar” in his friends and fraternity, he was an amalgamation of literary strength and artistic demeanor.

Settled in Agra  after retirement, a home to language& culture and being close to Delhi this great poet’s words kept his “Kalam” alive for his fans and the poet fraternity.

His poems (Nazms) cover every aspect of life( Khayaal). Being a master of languages with a keen insight into life; he wove words like silk and rhythm like water. Hindi, English, Urdu and Persian ….he was an exponent of all.

Writing was his life! His poem’s flow and tempo is unique, narrative is interwoven into beautiful words…. Satire is poignant, romance is expressive… weaving human interface like a tapestry; moving from a Qasida…… towards even an Elegy…..

Syal’s hold over the genre of poetry is vast from Lyrical to narrative and even dramatic!

He has  experimented with intriguing & sensitive subjects like “Mazdoori” & “Garibi Hateyen.”

“Gautam ki wapisi,” another of his poems, is an elegant form of poetry  on the  return  of “Lord Gautama Buddha” in the modern times. Its charm bowls one over!

“Barood ka Sargam…” is a famous collection of poems for the unsung, lost soldiers who have sacrificed their  lives  for our motherland. These poems are his tribute as a soldier, of 36 plus years (pre & post independence), for those gave up their today for our tomorrow .

Its inspirational  for the youth and  was published in 1995, post approval from the Army. 

Brijender Syal and his  work is showcased in “Nazm aaur Khayyal”… a small effort by us, his daughters tobring forth the saga of this talented “Shyyar.”
