Multiple winners and nominees

Superlatives

With 13 wins,

In 2005, Javed Akhtar was the single nominee, having all the five nominations of this category to his credit (and eventually winning for "Tere Liye" from Veer-Zaara). Akhtar's five nominations in that year also gave him the record for most number of Best Lyricist nominations in a single year, thus surpassing a previous record by Anand Bakshi, who received four of the five nominations in 1981.

Anand Bakshi holds the record of getting nominated for consecutively 13 years from 1970 till 1982, resulting in 23 nominations and only 2 wins. Anand Bakshi in 1981 lost all four nominations he received to Gulzar and in 1998 lost all three nominations to Javed Akhtar.

As of 2022, only five women have ever been nominated for the award. First ever female lyricist to be nominated for the award was Preeti Sagar for the song "Mero Gaam Katha Parey" from the film Manthan in 1978. Rashmi Singh became the first woman to won the award in 2015 for "Muskurane Ki Wajah" from CityLights.

Kausar Munir became the second female songwriter to won; when she won it in 2022 for the song "Lehra Do" from 83. She is also the only female lyricist to have multiple nominations ever and also in a single year. She has five of total nine nominations by female songwriters in history.

The other two female lyricists nominated are Rani Malik for "Dheere Dheere Se" from Aashiqui (1991) and Anvita Dutt for "Gulaabo" from Shaandaar (2016).
