Nonetheless, I have decided to once again start blogging :) ... This first post is about Ghazals... Ghazal is an urdu poetry or shayari with rhyming couplets and a refrain (repeating words)... Usually written by urdu poets / shayars, ghazals are melodiously sung by famous singers like Jagjit Singh, Manhar Udhas, Ghulam Ali, Pankaj Udhas, etc.
Since I am big fan of Jagjit Singh, I will try to share some of his filmi / non-filmi ghazals (lyrics / audio / video) in this post!... Not everyone will have a taste for this type of music and poetry but if you are a true music lover, you wouldn't be disappointed :)

Album : Love is Blind (1998)
Lyrics : Nadeem Parmar
Singer : Jagjit Singh
Music : Jagjit Singh
Chak jigar ke si lete hain,
Jaise bhi ho ji lete hain.
Dard mile to sah lete hain,
Ashq mile to pi lete hain.
Aap kahen to mar jayenge,
Aap kahen to ji lete hain.
Bezari ke aandhiyere mein,
Jine wale ji lete hain.
Hum to hain un fulon jaise,
jo kaanto me ji lete hain.
(Chak means slit or torn; Bezari means vexation)

Album : Jeevan kya hai (2005)
Lyrics : Nida Fazli
Singer : Jagjit Singh
Music : Jagjit Singh
Garaj baras pyaasi dharti par fir paani de Maula
Chidiyo ko daane bachho ko gud-dhaani de Maula
Do aur do ka jod hamesha chaar kaha hota hai
Soch samjhne walo ko thodi nadani de Maula
Fir roshan kar zehar ka pyala chamka nai salide
Jhutto ki duniya mein sach ko taabani de Maula
Fir murat se bahar aakar chaaro aur bikhar jaa
Fir mandir ko koi meera deewani de Maula
Tere hote koi kisi ki jaan ja dushman kyu ho
Jeene walo ko marne ki aasani de Maula
(gud means jaggery, dhaani is a cereal made out of maize or rice; taabani means brightness;
This gazal has a very deep meaning if you think about it!... Nida Fazli tells maula (God) to come out of the murat (deity) and spread everywhere just like Krishna did it for Meera)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Phir aaj mujhe tumko bas itna bataana hai
Hasna hee jeewan hai haste hee jaana hai
Madhuban ho ya gulshan ho patjhad ho ya saawan ho
Har haal mein insaan ka ik phool sa jeewan ho
Kaanton mein ulajh ke bhi khushboo hee lutaana hai
Hasna hee jeewan hai haste hee jaana hai
Har pal jo guzar jaaye daaman ko to bhar jaaye
Ye soch ke jee lein tho takdeer sawar jaaye
Is umr kee raahon se khushiyon ko churaana hai
Hasna hee jeewan hai haste hee jaana hai
Sab dard mitaa de hum, har gham ko saza de hum
Kehte hai jise jeena duniya ko sikha de hum
Ye aaj to apna hai kal bhee apnaana hai
Hasna hee jeewan hai haste hee jaana hai

Album : Chahat (2004)
Lyrics : Nida Fazli
Singer : Jagjit Singh
Music : Jagjit Singh
Apni marzi se kahan apne safar ke hum hain
Apni marzi se kahan apne safar ke hum hain
Ruq hawaon ka jidhar ka hai udhar ke hum hain
Apni marzi se kahan apne safar ke hum hain...
Pehle har cheez thi apni magar ab lagta hai
Pehle har cheez thi apni magar ab lagta hai
Apni hee ghar mei kisi doosre ghar ke hum hain
Apni hee ghar mei kisi doosre ghar ke hum hain
Ruq hawaon ka jidhar ka hai udhar ke hum hain
Apni marzi se kahan apne safar ke hum hain...
Waqt ke saath hai mitti ka safar sadiyon se
Waqt ke saath hai mitti ka safar sadiyon se
Waqt ke saath hai mitti ka safar sadiyon se
kisko maloom kahan ke hain kidhar ke hum hain
kisko maloom kahan ke hain kidhar ke hum hain
Ruq hawaon ka jidhar ka hai udhar ke hum hain
Apni marzi se kahan apne safar ke hum hain...
Chalte rehte hain ke chalna hai musafir ka naseeb
Chalte rehte hain ke chalna hai musafir ka naseeb
Sonchte rehte kis raah guzar ke hum hain
Sonchte rehte kis raah guzar ke hum hain
Ruq hawaon ka jidhar ka hai udhar ke hum hain
Apni marzi se kahan apne safar ke hum hain
Apni marzi se kahan apne safar ke hum hain

Album : Insight (1994)
Lyrics : Nida Fazli
Singer : Jagjit Singh
Music : Jagjit Singh
Main roya pardes mein, bheegaa maan kaa pyaar
Dukh ne dukh se baat ki, bin chithhi bin taar
Chhotaa kar ke dekhiye jeevan kaa vistaar
Aankhon bhar aakaash hai, baahon bhar sansaar
Leke tan ke naap ko, ghoomay basti gaanv
Har chaadar ke gher se, baahar nikalay paanv
Sab ki poojaa ek si, alag alag hai reet
Masjid jaaye maulavi, koyal gaaye geet
Pooja ghar mein murati Meera ke sang Shyam,
Jiski jitni chaakari utne uske daam
Nadiyaa seenchay khet ko, tota kutaray aam
Sooraj thekedaar saa, sab ko baantay kaam
Saaton din bhagawaan ke, kyaa mangal kyaa peer
Jis din soye der tak, bhookhaa rahay fakir
Achhi sangat baithkar, sangi badalay roop
Jaisay milkar aam se meethii ho gayi dhoop
Sapnaa jharnaa neend kaa, jaagii aankhen pyaas
Paanaa, khonaa, khojanaa saanson kaa itihaas
Chaahay Geetaa baanchiye, yaa padhiye Quraan
Mera tera pyaar hi har pustak kaa gyaan
(Another masterpiece by Nida Fazli with deep meaning... Saaton din bhagwaan ke, kya mangal kyaa peer, Jis din soye der tak, bhookhaa rahay fakir!)

Film : Ek Baar Kaho (1980)
Lyrics : ?
Singer : Jagjit Singh
Music : Bappi Lahiri
Koi kesu, koi aachal hame aawaj na de
Ab kisi aakh ka kajal hame awaj na de
Hum hai khamosh to khamosh hi rehne do hame
Koi aahat koi halchal hame awaj na de
Hum ne tanhai ko mehboob bana rakha hai
Raakh ke dher ne sholo ko daba rakha hai
Phir pukara hai mohabat ne hame kya kijye
Di sada husn ki janat ne hame kya kijye
Jis ke saye se bhi aksar hame dar lagta tha
Choo liya akhir usey hasrat me kya kijye
Hamne jasbat ke daman ko bacha rakha hai
Raakh ke dher ne sholo ko daba rakha hai
Raas ayenak kabhi pyar ke halat hame
Dil ke is khel mein har bar hui mat hame
Kya karenge kaha jayenge kidhar jayenge
De gayi jabbhi daga yeh mulakat hame,
Bas isi soch ne hame devana bana rakha hai
Raakh ke dher ne sholo ko daba rakha hai
(Hum ne tanhai ko mehboob bana rakha hai, raakh ke dher ne sholo ko daba rakha hai - how true!!!)

Album : Magic Moments (1994)
Lyrics : ?
Singer : Jagjit Singh
Music : ?
Teri khusboo mai basey khat mai jalaata kaise
Pyar mai doobe hu-e khat mai jalaata kaise
Tere haathon ke likhe khat mai jalaata kaise
Jinko duniya ki nigahon se chupa-ye rakha
Jinko ek umra kaleje se lagaye rakha
Deen jinko jinhe imaan banaye rakha
Teri khusboo mai basey khat mai jalaata kaise
Pyar mai doobe hu-e khat mai jalaata kaise
Jinka har lafz mujhe yaad hai paani ki tarah
Yaad they mujko jo paighaam-e-zubaani ki tarah
Mujhko pyaare they jo anmol nishaani ki tarah
Tere khusboo mai basey khat mai jalaata kaise
Pyar mai doobe hu-e khat mai jalaata kaise
Toone duniya ki nigahon se jo bachkar likhi
Saal dar saal mere naam barabar likhi
Kabhi din mai toh kabhi raath ko uthkar likhi
Tere khusboo mai basey khat mai jalaata kaise
Pyar mai doobe hu-e khat mai jalaata kaise
Tere haathon ke likhe khat mai jalaata kaise
Tere khat aaj main Ganga mai bahaa aaya hoon
Aag behte hu-e paani mai laga aaya hoon
(This is actually a Nazm, not exactly a Ghazal - there is a subtle difference between two... Awesome lyrics and nicely sung by Jagjit Singh)

Film : Dushman (1998)
Lyrics : ?
Singer : Jagjit Singh
Music : Uttam Singh
Chithi na koi sandesh
Hoo, chithi na koi sandesh
Jaane woh kaun sa desh
Jahan tum chale gaye
Chithi na koi sandesh
Jaane woh kaun sa desh
Jahan tum chale gaye
Chithi na koi sandesh
Jaane woh kaun sa desh
Jahan tum chale gaye
Jahan tum chale gaye
Is dil pe lagaa ke thes
Jaane woh kaun sa desh
Jahan tum chale gaye...
Ek aah bharee hogi
Humne na sunee hogi
Jaate jaate tumne
Aawaz to di hogi
Har waqt yehi hai gham
Us waqt kahan the hum
Kahan tum chale gaye
Chithi na koi sandesh
Jaane woh kaun sa desh
Jahan tum chale gaye
Jahan tum chale gaye
Is dil pe lagaa ke thes
Jaane woh kaun sa desh
Jahan tum chale gaye...
Har cheez pe ashkoon se
Likha hai tumhara naam
Ye raste ghar galiyaan
Tumhe kar na sakee salaam
Hai dil mein reh gayee baat
Jaldi se chuda kar haath
Kahan tum chale gaye
Chithi na koi sandesh
Jaane woh kaun sa desh
Jahan tum chale gaye
Jahan tum chale gaye
Is dil pe lagaa ke thes
Jaane woh kaun sa desh
Jahan tum chale gaye...
Abh yaadon ke kaante
Is dil mein chubhte hain
Na dard thaherta hai
Na aansoon rukte hain
Tumhe dhoondh raha hai pyaar
Hum kaise karein iqraar
Ke haan tum chale gaye
Chithi na koi sandesh
Jaane woh kaun sa desh
Jahan tum chale gaye
Jahan tum chale gaye
Is dil pe lagaa ke thes
Jaane woh kaun sa desh
Jahan tum chale gaye...
O kahan tum chale gaye
O kahan tum chale gaye
O kahan tum chale gaye...
(Jagjit Singh and Chitra Singh (his wife) lost their only son in a car accident in Ohio in 1990... He was just 18 years old... Ever since Chitra Singh, who is also a singer, quit singing and became reclusive... Jagjit Singh has acknowledged that if it wasn't for music, the grief would have been unbearable... This song is apt for him to sing)

ReplyDeletenow we lost Jagjit singh too...its so sad to think about it.
ReplyDeleteKalpesh, can you compile Jagjit's entire work as of his last days?
