Piyush Mishra needs no introduction. The poet, lyricist, singer, actor, music director, screenwriter dons many hats. Unapologetically candid and fiercely realistic, Piyush Mishra is a rare gem of modern cinema and theatre. His songs touch the heart and his shayari moves the soul. From powerful hard-hitting songs like ‘Arre Ruk Ja Re Bandeh’ from ‘Black Friday’ and ‘Ik Bagal’ (‘Gangs Of Wasseypur’) to Coke Studio’s beautiful ‘Husna’, Piyush Mishra’s work as a lyricist and singer is a class apart. His powerful satires on society are brutally honest and mince no words. We compiled some of his poetry that stands out for its sheer brilliance and honesty. 

We just can get enough of this:
