ए. करीम

A. Karim was a lyricist active in Hindi cinema during the 1940s and into the early 1950s, credited on song catalogues alongside music directors such as Channalal Naik, Khan Mastana, Datta Korgaonkar, and Shaukat Dehlvi "Nashad."

His documented work includes the lyrics for "Kadam Kadam Badhe Chalo" and other songs in the 1943 film Hunterwali Ki Beti, composed by Channalal Naik and sung by Ranibala, Shyam Sundar, Rajkumari, and Mansoor; "Kaha Sawari Jati Hai" and "Apna Jeevan Ban Gaya" from the 1944 film Badmash; and "Tere Dil Se Mera Dil Mil Gaya" from the 1951 film Ghazab, composed by Shaukat Dehlvi Nashad. Catalogue listings also associate him with songs from films including Muqabla, Namumkin, Talash, Char Chand, Vishvas, and Dhumketu, with recordings by singers such as Talat Mahmood.

Some archival listings credit A. Karim more broadly as a music director and writer in addition to his work as a lyricist, though this dimension of his career is less documented. Detailed biographical information, including his full name, birth, and death, has not survived in accessible public records.
