ए. एच. शोर

A. H. Shor (also credited as A. H. Shore) was a lyricist and dialogue writer attached to New Theatres, the celebrated Calcutta studio, in the late 1930s and early 1940s. He shared the Hindi song credits with the poet Arzoo Lakhnavi on at least two Pankaj Mullick-scored productions — Kapalkundala (1939) and Doctor (1941) — and also wrote dialogue for Doctor. Songs bearing the joint lyric credit include Doctor's famous 'Guzar Gaya Wo Zamana Kaisa Kaisa', sung by Pankaj Mullick himself, along with 'Aaj Apni Mehnaton Ka', 'Mehak Rahi Phulwaari Hamari', 'Sajan Badi Suhani Bhor' and 'Kab Tak Niraas Ki Andhiyaari'. Like many studio-era writers, his personal details went largely unrecorded; his surviving footprint is this handful of songs from New Theatres classics.
