Kuch din to baso meri aankhon mein, a melodious ghazal from Ghulam Ali. The ghazal appeared in many live concert albums. The beautiful lyrics of the song are written by Obaidullah Alim. Besides the tremendous singing of Ghulam Ali, the lyrics are quite simple as well as interesting. The composition has been made as simple as the lyrics of the song which perfectly convey the mood of the song.
Ghar aaja maahi is a song that appeared in the album Nasha Hi Nasha Hai. Apart from singing the song the noted singer Sukhwinder Singh has penned the lyrics and composed the song himself. The song is in the signature style of Sukhwinder Singh where he sings on the high pitch. The song reminds his singing in the song Heer-The Searchfrom the album Mitti. For Sukhwinder Singh's fans it's a must listen track.

muhskil hai waqt vichoray ka bina mahi guzara kaun kare ik din hovay tay o lang javay sari umer guzara kaun kare
The ghazal "Kya tuuta hai andar andar" appeared in the album Encore. The pensive lyrics of the song has been penned by Farhat Shahzad,and Mehdi Hassan has given his voice to the ghazal. The ghazal is in the mood of melancholy and the lyric plus hisintoxicating voice express the pain of the lover.
Lyrics: क्या टूटा है अन्दर अन्दर, क्यूँ चेहरा कुम्हलाया है तनहा तनहा रोने वालों, कौन तुम्हें याद आया है चुपके चुपके सुलग रहे थे, याद में उनकी दीवाने इक तारे ने टूट के यारों, क्या उनको समझाया है रंग बिरंगी इस महफ़िल में, तुम क्यूं इतने चुप चुप हो भूल भी जाओ पागल लोगों, क्या खोया क्या पाया है
शेर कहाँ है खून है दिल का, जो लफ़्ज़ों में बिखरा है दिल के ज़ख्म दिखा कर हमने, महफ़िल को गरमाया है
अब ‘शहजाद’ ये झूठ न बोलो, वो इतने बेदर्द नहीं अपनी चाहत को हभी परखो, गर इलज़ाम लगाया है
kya tuuta hai andar andar, kyuun chehara kumhalaaya hai tanha tanha rone waalon, kaun tumhein yaad aaya hai
chupke chupke sulag rahe the, yaad mein unki diwaane ik taare ne tuut ke yaaron, kya unko samjhaaya hai
rang birangi is mehfil mein, tum kyuun itane chup chup ho bhuul bhi jaao paagal logon, kya khoya kya paaya hai
sher kahaan hai khuun hai dil ka, jo lafzon mein bikhara hai dil ke zakhm dikha kar hamne, mehfil ko garmaaya hai
ab ‘Shehzad’ ye jhuuth na bolo, wo itana bedard nahin apni chaahat ko bhi parakho, gar ilzaam lagaaya hai
"Ni aao saiyyo ral devo ni wadhai" is another gem from the Pakistani classical singer Shafqat Ali Khan. I've posted his another songTaaron Bhari Hai Raatearlier. Alike Taaron Bhari Hai Raat this live version is also very melodious and sung in classical style. The song is written by Baba Bulley Shah. This is a traditional song, and has been sung by a lot of singers. The version i present here is a 24:57 mins long and one of my favorite live performances. Below is a part of the song on youtube:
The above recording is not so clear and incomplete but if you want to download the full and clear recording of the song Click here:Download
This beautiful poetry "Phir Mujhe Deeda-E-Tar Yaad Aaya" was written by the great Mirza Ghalib. This has been composed in different tunes and sung by various singers over the time. The song by Mehdi Hassan is from the album Ghalibnama. The aalap in this version is by Tarannum Naaz. Soft recital of his songs and singing them in pure classical style is the characteristic of Mehdi Hassan. I love this ghazal and it's composition which is typical Mehdi Hassan style.
"Ab ke hum bichde" is one of the most famous ghazals by Mehdi Hassan who is famously known as the "King of Ghazal". Almost every person whosoever like ghazals and Mehdi Hassan must have heard it. Penned by Ahmad Faraz, the ghazal is really melodious. The use of sarangi in the song is marvelous and enchanting. The voice of Mehdi Hassan syncs so well with the sound of Sarangi that it seems one sound only. Here I share a live version of the song which i found the longest one on web. To listen to live recordings is always a different experience.
Lyrics:
अब के हम बिछड़े तो शायद कभी ख़्वाबों में मिले जिस तरह सूखे हुए फूल किताबों में मिले
ढूँढ उजड़े हुए लोगों में वफ़ा के मोती ये खजाने तुझे मुमकिन है खराबों में मिले अब के हम बिछड़े...
तू खुदा है, न मेरा इश्क फरिश्तों जैसा दोनों इंसान हैं तो क्यों इतने हिजाबों में मिले अब के हम बिछड़े...
ग़म-ए-दुनिया भी ग़म-ए-यार में शामिल कर लो नशा बढता है शराबे जो शराबों में मिले अब के हम बिछड़े...
अब ना वो मैं हूँ, न तू है, न वो माज़ी है फ़राज़ जैसे तुम/वो साये तमन्ना के सराबों में मिले अब के हम बिछड़े...
Ab ke hum bichde to shaayad kabhi khwaabon mein mile Jis tarah sookhe huye phool kitaabon mein mile Ab ke hum bichde...
Dhoond ujde huye logon mein wafa ke moti Ye khazane tujhe mumkin hai kharabon mein mile Ab ke hum bichde...
Tu khuda hai na mera ishq farishton jaisa Dono insaan hain to kyun itne hijaabon mein mile Ab ke hum bichde...
Gham-e-duniya bhi gham-e-yaar mein shaamil kar lo Nasha badhta hai sharaabe jo sharabon mein mile Ab ke hum bichde...
Ab na woh main Hoon, Na Tu Hai, Na Wo Maaji Hai Faraaz
Sainya badesi ghar aaja re is a Mishra Des Thumri by Ghulam Ali. The song appeared in the album Saiyan Badesi Ghar Aaja Re (Thumri). Ghulam Ali , who has sung it, is prominently known for the ghazals. But he has been quite a versatile singer, who not only has sung Ghazals in semi-classical style but has some classical thumris such asQadra na jaaniand Saiyan badesi ghar aaja re. The Thumri, Saiyan badesi ghar aaja re, is in some unorthodox style and that is the best thing about it. Ghulam Ali not only has simplified the style of the thumri but also made it sound quite light (sugam sangeet style) for the people who may not understand or relish the pure classical form of Thumri. Though I couldn't find the lyricist of the song but no doubt the lyrics are simple and beautiful.
"Qadra na jaani" is a traditional thumri which has been sung by Ghulam Ali. Though there is not much lyrics in the 28 minutes long thumri, it is the variation of his singing that makes it a complete song. Ghulam Ali has performed it in a different style of classical singing. He starts with the Qadra na jani and ends the thumri with Yaad piya ki aaye. There is a very good and effective use of Tabla and Saraghi. All the people who love thumri and specially like the live performance would definitely like to listen this song.
"Kahin Ek Masoom, Naazuk Si Ladki" is my one of the most favorite old bollywood songs. The song is from the movie Shankar Hussain which perhaps is known only for the song Kahin ek Masum Nazuk si Lardki. Mohammad Rafi has rendered his beautiful voice to the song. The best thing about this song is it's composition and recording. The song has been composed by the great music composer Khaiyyam. The song has such an everlasting effect that it rings in your ears even long after you listen to it. The beautiful lyrics by Jan Nisar Akhtar makes it magical. The simplicity of the lyrics makes the song an all time hit.
Lyrics:
Kahin Ek Masoom, Naazuk Si Ladki, Bahut Khubsurat, Magar Saanwali Si, Bahut Khubsurat..
Mujhe Apne Khwabon Ki Bahon Mein Paakar, Kabhi Neend Mein Muskurathi To Hogi, Usi Neend Mein, Kasmasa-Kasmasakar, Sarhane Se Thakiye Girati To Hogi.. Kahin Ek Masoom, Naazuk Si Ladki..
Wohi Khwab Din Ki, Munderon Pe Aake, Use Man Hi Man Mein, Lubhathe To Honge, Kayi Saaz Sine Ki Khamoshiyon Mein, Meri Yaad Se, Jhanjhanate To Honge, Woh Besaakhta, Dheeme-Dheeme Suron Mein, Meri Dhun Mein Kuch Gun-gunathe To Hogi.. Kahin Ek Masoom, Naazuk Si Ladki..
Chalo Khat Likhen, Ji Mein Aata To Hoga, Magar Ungliyan, Kap-kapathi To Hongi, Kalam Haath Se, Chut Jaatha To Hoga, Umangen kalam Phir Uthathi To Hongi, Mera Naam, Apni Kitaabon Pe Likhkar, Voh Daaton Mein Ungli, Dabathi To Hogi.. Kahin Ek Masoom, Naazuk Si Ladki..
Zaban Se Agar Uff, Nikalti To Hogi, Badan Dheeme-Dheeme, Sulagtha To Hoga, Kahin Ke Kahin Paa_vn Padte, To Honge, Zamin Par Dupatta Latakta To Hoga, Kabhi Subah Ko Sham Keheti To Hogi, Kabhi Raat Ko Din, Batati To Hogi.. Kahin Ek Masoom, Naazuk Si Ladki..
Kahin Ek Masoom, Naazuk Si Ladki, Bahut Khubsurat, Magar Saanwali Si, Bahut Khubsurat..
कहीं एक मासूम नाज़ुक
सी लड़की बहुत खूबसूरत मगर
सांवली सी
मुझे अपने ख़्वाबों
की बाहों में पाकर कभी नींद में
मुस्कुराती तो होगी उसी नींद में
कसमसा-कसमसाकर सरहने से तकिये
गिराती तो होगी
वही ख़्वाब दिन के
मुंडेरों पे आके उसे मन ही मन में
लुभाते तो होंगे कई साज़ सीने की
खामोशियों में मेरी याद में
झनझनाते तो होंगे वो बेसाख्ता
धीमे-धीमे सुरों में मेरी धुन में कुछ
गुनगुनाती तो होगी
चलो खत लिखें जी में
आता तो होगा मगर उंगलियां
कँप-कँपाती तो होंगी कलम हाथ से छूट जाता
तो होगा उमंगें कलम फिर
उठाती तो होंगी मेरा नाम अपनी
किताबों पे लिखकर वो दांतों में उँगली
दबाती तो होगी
ज़ुबाँ से अगर उफ़
निकलती तो होगी बदन धीमे धीमे
सुलगता तो होगा कहीं के कहीं पांव
पड़ते तो होंगे दुपट्टा ज़मीं पर
लटकता तो होगा कभी सुबह को शाम
कहती तो होगी कभी रात को दिन
बताती तो होगी
"Tukde tukde din beetaa" is an another ghazal from the album I write I recite, sung and penned by Meena Kumari and composed by the legendary music composer Khaiyyam. The ghazal is sung in the manner of a soliloquy as she is sitting all alone and giving words to her grief. The intermittent use of sitar in the song which is the characteristic of khaiyyam can also be seen in the song.
Lyrics:
टुकड़े-टुकड़े दिन बीता, धज्जी-धज्जी रात मिली
जितना-जितना आँचल था, उतनी ही सौगात मिली
रिमझिम-रिमझिम बूँदों में, ज़हर भी है और अमृत भी
आँखें हँस दीं दिल रोया, यह अच्छी बरसात मिली
जब चाहा दिल को समझें, हँसने की आवाज सुनी
जैसे कोई कहता हो, ले फिर तुझको मात मिली
मातें कैसी घातें क्या, चलते रहना आठ पहर
दिल-सा साथी जब पाया, बेचैनी भी साथ मिली
होंठों तक आते आते, जाने कितने रूप भरे
जलती-बुझती आँखों में, सादा सी जो बात मिली
Tukde tukde din beetaa, dha'ji dha'ji raat milii
jiska jitna anchal tha, utni hi saugaat mili
Rimjhim- Rimjhim boondon mein, zahar bhi hai aur amrit bhi
"Chand tanha hai asman tanha" is a ghazal by Meena Kumari in her own voice. The ghazal appeared in the album I write I recite. I write, I recite is the only recorded album of the actress wherein she recites her selected poems. The composer of the Album, the inimitable Khaiyyam has contributed his genius in crafting the poems to suit the voice of Meena Kumari. The poems are a reflection of the personal tragedy and loneliness which the Actress encountered in her own life. There is tone of melancholy in her voice as well as in the lyrics. The magic of Khiyyam adds the magic to the ghazal.
One more beautiful song by Piyush Mishra. The song is from the movie Gangs of Wasseypur-I. The album is one of the most versatile album of the year and it got all the praises for its experimentation and uniqueness. Sneha Khanwalkar has given the music of the album. "Ik bagal mein chaand hoga" is sung and penned by Piyush himself, stands out for the lyrics. The base setting of the song will remind you of old 60s or 70s tracks. Flute and Sitar talk between themselves and put you at ease immediately and then the strong bass creates a perfect platform for Piyush Mishra (PM) to start what is probably the most powerful song (in terms of effect that it will leave on you) of the film. Just enjoy the lyrics, the melody and obviously the voice of Piyush Mishra...
Lyrics:
इक बगल में चाँद होगा, इक बगल में रोटियां,
इक बगल में नींद होगी, इक बगल में लोरियां,
हम चाँद पे रोटी की चादर डालकर सो जायेंगे,
और नींद से कह देंगे लोरी कल सुनाने आयेंगे.
इक बगल में खनखनाती सीपियाँ हो जाएँगी,
इक बगल में कुछ रुलाती सिसकियाँ हो जाएँगी,
हम सीपियों में भरके सारे तारे छूके आयेंगे,
और सिसकियों को गुदगुदी कर कर के यूँ बहलाएँगे.
अम्मा तेरी सिसकियों पे कोई रोने आएगा,
गम न कर जो आएगा वो फिर कभी न जायेगा,
याद रख पर कोई अनहोनी नहीं तू लाएगी,
लाएगी तो फिर कहानी और कुछ हो जाएगी.
होनी और अनहोनी की परवाह किसे है मेरी जान, हद से ज्यादा ये ही होगा कि यहीं मर जायेंगे,
हम मौत को सपना बता कर उठ खड़े होंगे यहीं,
और होनी को ठेंगा दिखाकर खिलखिलाते जायेंगे,
और होनी को ठेंगा दिखाकर खिलखिलाते जायेंगे.
Ik bagal mein chaand hoga ik bagal mein rotiyanIk bagal mein chaand hoga ik bagal mein rotiyanIk bagal mein neend hogi ik bagal mein loriyaanHum chaand pe roti ki chaadar daal kar so jayengeAur neend seAur neend se keh denge lori kal sunaane aayengeIk bagal mein khankhanati seepiyan ho jayengiIk bagal mein kuch rulati siskiyan ho jayengiHum seepiyon mein bhar ke saare taare chhoo ke aayengeAur siskiyon ko....Aur siskiyon ko.... gudgudi kar kar ke yoon behlayengeAur siskiyon ko.... gudgudi kar kar ke yoon behlayengeAmma teri siskiyon pe koi rone aayegaKoi rone aayegaGham naa kar jo aayega wo phir kabhi naa jayegaWo phir kabhi na jaayegaYaad rakh par koi anhoni nahi tu laayegiLaayegi to phir kahaani aur kuch ho jayegiYaad rakh par koi anhoni nahi tu laayegiLaayegi to phir kahaani aur kuch ho jayegiHoni aur anhoni ki parwah kise hai meri jaanHadd se zyada ye hi hoga ke yahin mar jayengeHum maut ko sapna bata kar uth khade honge yahinAur honi ko...Aur honi ko thenga dikha kar khilkhilate jayengeAur honi ko thenga dikha kar khilkhilate jayenge
"O Ri Duniya" is a soundtrack from the movie Gulaal, which has been written, composed and sung by Piyush Mishra. Piyush Mishra is known for a distinguished sort of music and he proves it each time he's assigned a project. Duniya, a track where he pays tribute to Guru Dutt's Pyaasa and yet stays wonderfully, poetically original. The song is both a lovesong and a lament, an observation and an ode. When he mentions Ghalib, Momin, Majaaz, Faiz, Firaakh, Sahir, Makhdoom, Mir, Zauk in the song, you feel like to give him a standing ovation for such a poetry. The composition is literally superb and i hope everyone would love it.
Lyrics:
ओ री दुनिया
सुरमई आँखों के प्यालों की दुनिया
सतरंगी रंगों गुलालों की दुनिया..ओ दुनिया
अलसाई सेजों के फूलों की दुनिया
अंगडाई तोड़े कबूतर की दुनिया
करवट ले सोयी हकीकत की दुनिया
दीवानी होती तबीयत की दुनिया
ख्वाहिश में लिपटी ज़रुरत की दुनिया
इंसान के सपनो की नीयत की दुनिया..ओ दुनिया
ओ री दुनिया
ये दुनिया अगर मिल भी जाए तो क्या है…
ममता की बिखरी कहानी की दुनिया
बहनों की सिसकी जवानी की दुनिया
आदम के हव्वा से रिश्ते की दुनिया
शायर के फीके लफ्जों की दुनिया
गालिब के, मोमिन के, ख़्वाबों की दुनिया
मजाजों के उन इन्कलाबों की दुनिया
फैज़ फिराक ओ साहिर ओ मखदूम
मीर की जौक की दागों की दुनिया
ये दुनिया अगर…
पलछिन
में बातें चली जाती हैं
पलछिन में रातें चली जाती हैं
रह जाता है जो सवेरा वो ढूंढे
जलते मकान में बसेरा वो ढूंढे
जैसी बची है वैसी की वैसी बचा लो ये दुनिया
अपना समझके अपनों के जैसी उठालो ये दुनिया
छुटपुट सी बातों में जलने लगेगी संभालो ये दुनिया…
कट पिट के रातों में पलने लगेगी संभालो ये दुनिया..
ओ री दुनिया…
वो कहे हैं की दुनिया ये इतनी नहीं है
सितारों से आगे जहां और भी है
ये हम ही नहीं हैं वहाँ और भी है
हमारी हर एक बात होती वहीँ है
हमें ऐतराज़ नहीं है कहीं भी
वो आलिम हैं फाजिल हैं होंगे सही ही
मगर फलसफा ये बिगड़ जाता है
जो वो कहते हैं
आलिम ये कहता वहाँ ईश्वर है
फाजिल ये कहता वहाँ अल्लाह है
काबुर ये कहता वहाँ इसा है
मंजिल ये कहती तब इंसान से की
तुम्हारी है तुम ही सम्भालों ये दुनिया
ये बुझते हुए चंद बासी चरागों
तुम्हारे ये काले इरादों की दुनिया…
ओ री दुनिया..
