Mumbai: A day after testing positive for coronavirus, legendary Urdu poet and lyricist Dr Rahat Indori passed away on Tuesday. The death of the 70-year-old poet has left Bollywood with an aching heart.

Taking to Twitter, veteran actor Anupam Kher wrote: "Ye kechiyaan hamein udane se khaak rokengee, kee ham paron se nahin hausalon se udate hain. Rahat Indori Sahab!! Aapke panktiyaan hamesha hamara hausala badhae rakhegi aur hamaara margadarshan karengi. Om shaanti! (Rahat Indori Sir!! Your lines will always encourage us and guide us. Om Shanti!)"

  • “ये केचियाँ हमें उड़ने से खाक रोकेंगी,
    की हम परों से नहीं हौसलों से उड़ते हैं.”

    राहत इंदौरी साहब!!

    आपकी पंक्तियाँ हमेशा हमारा हौसला बढ़ाए रखेगी और हमारा मार्गदर्शन करेंगी। ओम शांति! 🙏

Lamenting the death of the ace lyricist, Varun Grover tweeted: "Rahat saab stadium bhar dete aur hazaaron ke bhid mein har insaan se seedhe rishta baandhte. Shabd unke hote lekin vo sabki awaaz the. Hindustaan ki awaaz. Aaj lambi chhupi hai."

  • राहत साब स्टेडियम भर देते और हज़ारों की भीड़ में हर इंसान से सीधे रिश्ता बाँधते। शब्द उनके होते लेकिन वो सबकी आवाज़ थे। हिंदुस्तान की आवाज़।
