After Completing Mehfil, Gulab Saify told Rehmat why Doolwal said, “Jaanbaazun Bajaar Wachzehai”, this is wrong. Rehmat sahab looked at my face and said you are interested in Poetry? I said No I am a science student as I have no Interest in it. In the next morning Rehmat Ali visited Gulab Saify house and gave him a book and pen to write up poetry to which Gulab Saify reacted to Rehmat Ali and said, what should I write as I have no interested in this field but Rehmat Ali said that you write anything you want. “At that time, I couldn’t write in Kashmiri language but I used to write in Roman English. After two years of writing, I failed to understand the depth of my writings and fortunately one day Rehmat sahb saw my poetry in which two lines caught his attention and he kept on trying to sing those lines. Then after that I realized, I should go ahead in this beat and my journey for writing poetry started in that way,” said Gulab Saify while talking with Kashmir Glacier.
