Jagjit Singh sings a Ghazal by Gulzar from the album Marasim

A very soulful ghazal by the master. You can hear the pain in his voice.


woh jo Ishq tha woh junoon tha
yeh jo hijr he yeh naseeb he

 

[sob]

One of his early Ghazals from the 70s, with Chitra Singh

 

[sob]

A very youthful Ghulam Ali : Tumhare Khat Main Ek Salaam Kiska Tha

 

[Singh]

La Pila De Saqia
Paimana Paimane ke baad
Hosh ki baate karunga hosh me aane ke baad

 

[sob]

La Pila De Saqia
Paimana Paimane ke baad
Hosh ki baate karunga hosh me aane ke baad

Isn't it too early in the day for Paimana

 

[Singh]

kahaaan maikhane ka darvaza ghalib aur kahan waiz(preacher)

[sob]

Then sir this is for you

Singh ji, one more for you by the Late Ustad Nusrat Ali Khan Sahib

ye jo halka halka suroor hai, ye teri nazar ka qasoor hai, ke sharab peena sikha diya, tere piyar ne teri cha ne, teri behki behki nigah ne mujhe ek sharabi bana diya, sharab kaisi, khumar kaisa, ye sab tumhari nawazishein hein...teri zindagi mera piyar hai...jo teri kushi wo meri kushi, ye hai mere janun ka, mojeza jahan apne sir ko jhuka diya wahan mein ne kaba bana diya, mere baad kis ko satao ge, mujhe kis tera mitao ge...tumhein ek qatil bana diya

[Singh]

saaqigari ki sharam karo aaj; varnah hum
har shab piya hi karte hai me jis qadr mile

 

[Singh]

The Original Urdu (English Transliteration)

Nahin nigaah me manzil toh justjoo hi sahi,
Nahin wisaal mayassar toh aarzoo hi sahi,

Na tan mein khoon faraaham, na ashk aankhon mein,
Namaaz-e-shauq toh waajib hai, be-wuzoo hi sahi,

Kisi tarah toh jame bazm maikade waalon,
Nahin jo baada-o-saagar toh haa-o-hoo hi sahi,

Gar intezaar kathin hai toh jab talak ai dil!
Kisi ke waada-e-fardaa ki guftgoo hi sahi,

Dayaar-e-ghair me mehram agar nahin koi,
To 'Faiz', Zikr-e-watan apne roobaroo hi sahi.........

English Translation

If the goal is not in sight, For mere desire I'd settle,
If a glimpse is too much to ask, For mere longing I'd settle,

Even with no blood to spare and no tears to shed,
Dutiful is my prayer of passion, Pure or impure I'd settle,

My fellow taverners! Let the revelry begin now,
Empty goblets, No flowing wine, For mere banter I'd settle,

If painful is the wait, till then Oh Love!
Her future promises, For mere reminiscing I'd settle,

If no friend amongst unknown faces I find, Face to face,
My country's praises 'Faiz', For a mere mention I'd settle.......

Subtle Complexities and Myriad Simplicities.......: A Translation: Nahin Nigaah Mein Manzil......... Faiz Sahab's Ghazal

Remembering the immortal Jagjit singh ji, went thru his Ghazals and heard this one after a long time

This incidentally was from a Live show in Pakistan organised to raise funds for the treatment of another legendary Ghazal singer Ustad Mehdi Hasan.
