S.H. Bihari was born in the Arrah now in Bhojpur district of the East Indian state of Bihar and died on 25 Feb 1987 in Mumbai. He wrote love poems and songs in Urdu and Hindi, though he was fluent in Bengali as well. His brother Huda Bihari was a director and producer.
In 1947, he moved to Mumbai from Calcutta, where he'd been living and studying. For the rest of his life, he wrote songs for the commercial Hindi/Urdu film industry. In the late fifties and sixties, the product of his partnership with composer O.P. Nayyar and the singer Asha Bhosle was very popular. With the decline in romantic movies during the Amitabh era in the seventies, his recorded work was limited. He enjoyed a brief resurgence during the 1980s with songs for movies like Pyar Jhukta Nahin and Love 86, but this was cut short by his death.
