"Chal mere saath hi chal" is a ghazal from the album Guldasta. The lyrics of the song has been written by Hasrat Jaipuri. The ghazal may not have something extraordinary but it's simplicity and lyrics would compel you to listen it. Thus with simple lyrics, sung in equally simpler soothing relaxed tone Ustad Ahmed Hussain & Mohd. Hussain create a magic with their rough but pleasing voice.
Lyrics:
chal mere saath hi chal ai meri jaan-e-ghazal
in samajon ke banaye huye bandhan se nikal, chal
ham vahaan jaayen jahaan pyaar pe pehre na lagen
dil ki daulat pe jahaan koi lutere na lagein
kab hai badla ye zamana, tu zamane ko badal, chal
pyar sachcha ho to rahein bhi nikal aati hain
bijliyan arsh se khud raasta dikhlati hain
tu bhi bijli ki tarah gham ke andheron se nikal, chal
apne milne pe jahaan koi bhi ungli na uthe
apni chahat pe jahaan koi dushman na hanse
chhed de pyar se tu saaz-e-mohabbat-e-ghazal, chal
pichhe mat dekh na shamil ho gunahgaron mein
samne dekh ki manzil hai teri taaron mein
baat banti hai agar dil mein irade hon atal, chal
After a long time, hearing a melodious poetry.Ustad Ahmed Hussain and Mohd Hussain combined to make this this soulfull with passion and emotion and used the range of the voice to full flowing Only Mehdi Hassan and Mohd Rafi would have sung better.
ReplyDeleteI love this soulful rendition by Ustads Ahmad and Mohammad Hussain. I recently stumbled upon a similar ghazal written by teh renowned lyricist Hasrat Jaipuri sahib (who has penned the above ghazal as well). The second ghazal in question is "Tu mere saath na chal; ae meri rooh-e-ghazal... Log badnaam na kar dein, tu iraadon ko badal". Eversince then I have been wondering why Jaipuri sahib wrote the two versions; why the Hussain brothers sang these ghazals (that too in a similar tune); and so on... does anyone know the story behind what may have prompted them to create first a song that prodded, encouraged and convinced the lover to walk along and change the course of history by challenging the social norms and rules; and then through another song prohibited the beloved from following one and urged her to go back to her life lest people dishonour her. It would add a great amount of context and historicity if someone could please shed some light on what may have transpired. Thank you! Enjoy the soulful music... it binds humanity like nothing else does!
