Tum aao to sahi

Find a quite place in late evening and listen to this, the brilliance of  Chitra Singh and poetry will create a moments which will be unforgettable.. 

Those two lines..

Raah tariq hain aur door Hai manzil lekin

Dard ki shamaen jalaa Lenge tum aao to sahin

Ab kya gazal..

One of the finest poetry I came across and this one grows on after so many decades. From the time it was sung in small circle of friends, into his first album and the special status of this one among his fans.

नज़रो मै ताबदीद ही बाकी नही रही
कीससे नज़र मिलाऊ, तुझे देखने के बाद

 

Maye Kahoon Masti Kahoon

The poetry, the singing, and tabla, there is something about this one, lets say we are not able to put in words and enjoy it. 

That voice the great Mehandi Hasan heard and made him Shagird speaks in itself! 

The table player is just sensational.

 

Sun li jo khuda ne wo duaa tum to nahi ho

 

This is my favorite one, the peace it gives you every time you listen. It makes time stop. 

That voice, that poetry and that simplicity. Few gazals have this. With less than 100 likes it appears where this art form is heading, however, if there are few gems which can revive this art form this one has all the elements. such an underrated artist, Mehandi hasan, Khayyam ( he sang him in umrao jaan after he heard him once), Jagjit Singh and Ghulam Ali all liked his voice so much and yet, in my mind its our loss..

And following lines are imperious.

Seemati huyi sharmayi huyi Raat ki raani

Soyi huyi kaliyon ki haya Tum to nahi ho

Mehsoos kiya tumko to gili huyi palke

Bheege hue mausam ki ada tum to nahin ho
