The correct answer is option 2, Sahir Ludhianvi. Sahir Ludhianvi was a popular Urdu poet and Hindi lyricist, known for his extensive work in Hindi films. He received several accolades for his contribution to the field of poetry and film songwriting, including the prestigious Padma Shri award. He was also the recipient of two Filmfare awards, which further highlight his exceptional talent.

Recently, the President of India released a commemorative postage stamp on his birth anniversary at Rashtrapati Bhavan, further cementing his legacy.

Option 1, Khayyam, is incorrect because although he was a renowned music composer, he was not a poet or lyricist.

Option 3, Ali Sardar Jafri, is incorrect as well because he was a poet and writer, but he did not work extensively in Hindi films.

Option 4, Salik Lucknawi, is also incorrect as there is no notable information available about a person by that name in the given context.
