Much of Majroohs life was more dramatic than one could conceive of. To be cliched, it resembled a film script. His name itself was quite a story. Born Asrar Hassan Khan, he was that oddest of combinations, a trained hakim with a passion for writing poetry. It was here that he altered himself : his first name now would be Majrooh, meaning wounded, and perhaps a reflection of the struggling poet within him; and his surname would be derived from Sultanpur, the village in eastern Uttar Pradesh, where he came from.
