Rahat Qureshi, later known as Rahat Indori, was a Bollywood lyricist and urdu language poet. Rahat gave lyrics to more than eleven Bollywood films including blockbuster 'Munna Bhai M.B.B.S'. Before poetry, he used to be a painter who painted Bollywood posters. He was also a former professor of Urdu language.

He wrote poems in a very simple and lucid language, and was known to recite his couplets in an expressive style. His poem named "Bulati hai Magar Jaane Ka Nahi'' got viral on Tiktok in February 2020. After his death, many of his couplets became relevant. 

Rest in Peace!
