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
