Raja Mehdi Ali Khan(1928–1966) was an Indian poet, writer and lyricist. Raja Mehdi Ali Khan () was born in Jehlum in British India. His early tutoring was under his mother Hebay Saheba soon after he had lost his father. Dr. Allama Muhammad Iqbal has acknowledged Hebay Saheba as a leading Urdu poet. S. Mukherji the partner in Filmistan Studio gave Raja Mehdi the poet a chance to write lyrics in his film ''Do Bhai'' (1946). Songs like ''Mera Sunder Sapna'' and ''Yaad Karoge'' from this film became instant hits. In 1947, in spite of communal riots, Raja Mehdi and his wife Tahira decided to stay in India rather than migrating to the Pakistan. In 1948 his patriotism manifested in his songs ''Watan ki raah mein'' and ''Todi todi bachay'' from the film ''Shaheed'' starring Dilip Kumar and Kamini Kaushal. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lyricsindia Profile )Lyricsindia〕 Raja Mehdi worked with both established and new music composers.
